PNE WinterLights

Select Nights through January 3

All dates for PNE WinterLights are now SOLD OUT.

 

Buckle up for this safe, holiday experience that you can enjoy with your family from the warmth of your car along a 2-kilometre route. You will be transported through nine enchanted lands filled with glowing lights, with special characters and festive performers to guide you along your way.

The Merry & Bright Forest will be lit up in dazzling colours with the musical sounds of your favourite Christmas songs so you can join in on the CAROL-oke. In Polar North you’ll feel the chill of the iceberg cave, igloos, polar bears, seals and penguins. The Teddy Bear Brigade will bring Dreamland to life along with a magical Pegasus and Unicorn. The 50-foot purple Christmas tree will show you the way to dancing elves in Candy Cane Lane.

Vancouver’s only drive-thru holiday experience shouldn’t be missed!

WinterLights adheres to all safety protocols developed in consultation with Vancouver Coastal Health. Everyone over the age of 2 must wear a facial covering or mask.
