Mark your calendars for an extraordinary event!
The Tree Lighting ceremony is scheduled for Friday, November 24th at Esther Short Park. We are excited to announce that this year, the celebration will also extend to Vancouver’s Waterfront! The festivities include Santa & Mrs. Claus, chauffeured by a Christmas tugboat and escorted by Christmas Ships to the Vancouver City dock. Then, a vehicle parade will carry Santa and Mrs. Claus from in front of the AC Marriott and proceed along Columbia Blvd, heading towards Esther Short Park. Santa and Mrs. Claus will be dropped off to light up the Christmas Tree.
Don’t miss the chance to be part of this festive experience!
