Chapleau's celebrating Christmas a little early.
The Olde Fashioned Christmas is tonight, with downtown businesses to stay open late while members of Odd Fellows Lodge 266 sell food and serve free hot chocolate.
A special guest's also expected: Santa Claus is set to arrive downtown at 6 o'clock tonight.
The event's also sponsored by the Chapleau Volunteer Firefighters Association, Rebekahs Lodge 391, and the Chapleau Branch of the Northern Credit Union.
