It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas… well maybe not outside. But the holiday season is just around the corner and there’s lots of festive events happening around the Lower Mainland to get you in the holiday spirit.

VanDusen Festival of Lights (November 29 to January 5)

The VanDusen Festival of Lights is a popular annual holiday event held at the VanDusen Botanical Garden. It transforms the beautiful garden into a dazzling winter wonderland with over a million lights illuminating the pathways, trees and landscapes. The garden is transformed with intricate light displays, including twinkling trees and colourful pathways. There are also unique themed installations like a sparking tunnel of lights and a maze of LED-lit plants. Visitors can enjoy a warm and festive atmosphere complete with holiday music, hot chocolate and other festive treats. This year’s new feature includes a display themed like the Great Bear Rainforest complete with an interactive attraction exploring the fascinating fungal world of mycelium. The entire garden is decked out in Christmas cheer, there’ll be holiday photo opportunities waiting for you around every corner.
