The chorale carol showdown on the Vancouver's streets is a must-experience event this December. So if you missed it last Christmas, be sure to come (all ye faithful) this time around. It's the most wonderful time of year, right?

The fun, festive, free event takes place outside each year in Gastown, and finds dozens of local choirs and singing groups going head to head in an exciting sing-off fundraiser.

Participating groups raise funds to get into the Yule Duel, with those bringing in at least $1000 heading to the main stage. Fans can cheer on their favourites, while a panel of judges cast their votes for their picks.

All of the funds raised from Yule Duel go to May’s Place hospice.

Yule Duel

When: Thu., Dec. 6, 2018 from 6 to 9 pm
