Vancouver's oceanfront has always been essential to the city, and one Christmas event is celebrating that heritage.
The Vancouver Maritime Museum is hosting Light Up the Harbour on Dec. 12, 2024, at Heritage Harbour (the docks near the museum in Kitsilano).
The annual event features vintage boats done up with Christmas lights and decorations, along with children's choirs, hot chocolate, and family crafts.
"Visitors will also be treated to one of False Creek Ferries’ notorious boat ballet dances that will bring festive magic to the waters by the harbour," share organizers in a media release.
The False Creek Ferries will also have extra trips running from Granville Island for the night.
"It is going to be a lovely evening of festive cheer and community spirit,” said the museum's managing director, Nicola Clur.
The museum (and a parking lot) is located near the park.
