Tis the season to hop aboard the train in Stanley Park and check out the bright displays for the BC Professional Firefighters’ Burn Fund. Tonight it’s the media opening, tomorrow it’s open for everyone to check out.

More than a million twinkling lights transform the forest, train and Children’s Farmyard. Explore the woodland paths leading to enchanting, animated displays and holiday sounds. A Christmas family tradition for over 20 years, the train 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.

The aroma of hot chocolate, fresh popcorn and roasted nuts brings back childhood memories. Visit Santa in his ‘Living Room’ at the Train Station.

Admission to the plaza is free. $8 adult / $5 children and senior tickets are required to ride the Bright Nights Train and visit the Children’s Farmyard

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.
