Bright Nights In Stanley Park
Bright Nights in Stanley Park features more than a million twinkling lights that transform the forest of Stanley Park into a winter wonderland. The main highlight is the Christmas train, which wends its way through the forest past Santa’s workshop, an international village and the much loved Moose in the middle of the glistening waterway.
Bright Nights is co-produced by the Vancouver Park Board and the 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. Bright Nights has raised over $1.2 million for the Burn Fund. This achievement is supported by more than 500 off-duty professional firefighters from the Lower Mainland and around BC who donate their time to set up, operate and take down the annual display.
If you’re in Vancouver and looking for something safe and fun to do with the whole family, Bright Nights in Stanley Park is well worth checking out. Admission to the plaza is free but a donation to the Burn Fund is appreciated. Tickets are required to ride the Bright Nights Train and visit the Children’s Farmyard. Bright Nights in Stanley Park opens daily from 3PM to 10PM until January 3, 2009 (closed Christmas day).

Nice decorations. But here in India, we don’t celebrate Christmas. I wish I could though. I love christmas trees and gifts.
Reply to this commentMay you don’t celebrate Christmas but many people do celebrate
Reply to this commentprobably because hardly anyone’s christian there… and it’s not commonly accepted so there’s no market for it.
Reply to this commentThere is actually about 25 Million Christians in India.
Reply to this commentNo matter what you believe of the truth behind Christianity it should be celebrated for the fact that because of the world view it pushed for the rights off every man and women.
