Join us this Heritage Christmas for a season of old-fashioned fun and spectacular light displays. A stroll down the streets of the Village is magical; the 1920s style lights, the cedar boughs, wreaths and big red bows are welcoming. Window displays and inside scenes highlight winter and Christmas items of times past. The light displays throughout the site will amaze and delight. There are lacy white lights, some that are clear multi-coloured, while others twinkle and change colour.
New Event - Bright in Burnaby
Heritage Christmas season commences with the official launch, Bright in Burnaby, on Saturday, December 2. Festivities include an official Tree Lighting ceremony at 6pm and all proceeds from carousel tickets sold between 4:00-9:00pm will be donated to the Burnaby Christmas Bureau. A ‘Baker’s Dozen’ of carousel ride tickets are available for purchase and make great stocking stuffers! It’ll be a fun evening, for a great cause.
Highlights Include:
• A visit with Father Christmas – this kindly gentleman receives children and listens to their dreams and wishes but only until Christmas!
