More than a million twinkling lights transform the forest, train and Children's Farmyard. Explore the woodland paths leading to enchanting, animated displays and holiday sounds. A Christmas family tradition for over 20 years, the train wends its way throught the forest past Santa's workshop, an international village and the much loved Moose in the middle of the glistening waterway.

The aroma of hot chocolate, fresh popcorn and roasted nuts brings back childhood memories. Visit Santa in his 'Living Room' at the Train Station.

Mortal Coil's fabulous creations bring laughter and artistry to the Park. Christmas tunes serenade you as you ride the train. Professional and community choirs and bands will also be in the Plaza on special nights.

BC Professional Fire Fighters' Burn Fund

All donations collected at the event, and partial proceeds from the sale of tickets for the train, go to the Burn Fund to help burn survivors and their families. As Bright Nights is one of its major fundraisers, the Burn Fund accepts donations at the front gate and suggests a minimum donation of $2.

The BC Professional Fire Fighters' Burn Fund is a registered charity established in 1978 by the BC Professional Fire Fighters' Association. Over 3,700 professional fire fighters throughout British Columbia dedicate their time and skills to help burn survivors in the province.

To make a donation or for more information please visit www.burnfund.org or call 604-436-5617.

Refreshments

Enjoy a snack, hot drink or a light meal at the Children's Farmyard Concession. In the Plaza, there are chestnuts and pistachios roasting and the Stanley Park Ecology Society sells hot buttered popcorn from its cob house.

Getting There

When you enter Stanley Park off Georgia Street, go straight ahead up Pipeline Road (don't turn right under the underpass) through the Rose Garden, and follow the signs to parking. There are a limited number of accessible parking stalls right by the Plaza gate. Parking in the lots by Bright Nights is free after 3 pm.

Bright Nights is readily accessible by transit. The terminus for the #19 bus  is at the bus loop, right by the entrance to the Train Plaza. Check with TransLink  at 604-953-3333 for more detailed information.
