Retailer Holt Renfrew has announced a change to the talent lineup for tonight's 'Holiday Window Unveiling.' Previously scheduled Tony and Emmy award winner Kristin Chenoweth has pulled out of the event due to illness. Replacing her will be Juno-award winning singer-songwriter Feist. The event is scheduled to begin at 6:30PM tonight, November 5.
'Tis the season for Holt Renfrew's annual 'Holiday Window Unveiling.' The evening marks the specialty retailer's 5th annual holiday window extravaganza, which has in past years welcomed such renowned talents as Patti LaBelle, Aretha Franklin, and Macy Gray to celebrate its tradition of decking out the Bloor St. window displays in full holiday gear. This year's event runs from 6:30-9PM, with shoppers (and window-shoppers) being treated to musical performances, guest appearances, and shopping promotions. A portion of the evening's proceeds will benefit the United Way/Centraide. Holt Renfrew is located at 50 Bloor Street West, Toronto. For more information on the event, visit the Holt Renfrew website.
