We are on track to host Bright Nights again this year, from November 29 to January 4, in partnership with the Burn Fund. Event details and ticketing information will be announced in the coming weeks. Check back soon.
Bundle up the family and join us for a holiday experience like no other, as our iconic 1961 locomotive once again winds its way through the magical Stanley Park forest, alight with thousands of sparkling lights. Kids of all ages will cherish memories of riding the Bright Nights Train for years to come.
Stroll through the plaza to enjoy even more lights, whimsical displays, and the crowd-pleasing vintage fire truck. Make sure you check out the live entertainment on your way to the North Pole workshop, where you can snap a pic with Santa and his fire fighter friends.
