12th Annual Bright Nights In Stanley Park - Christmas Train

12^th Annual Bright Nights In Stanley Park

November 27, 2009 to January 2, 2010, 3-10pm (farmyard open to 9pm) closed Christmas Day

 Get in the spirit of the Holidays - take a train ride through our forest transformed with two million twinkling lights, see the animated displays and listen to holiday sounds as you enjoy hot chocolate, fresh popcorn and roasted chestnuts.

Fabulous creations bring laughter and artistry to the Park. Christmas tunes serenade you as you ride the train. Professional and community choirs and bands will also be in the plaza on special nights. And don't forget to visit Santa in his workshop!

Student volunteers act as festival ambassadors. Individuals, companies and foundations donate goods and funds to ensure that the over 200,000 annual visitors to Bright Nights enjoy the event called "the most spectacular lighting display in Canada".

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. As Bright Nights is one of its major fundraisers, the Burn Fund accepts donations at the front gate and suggests a minimum donation of $2.

Bright Nights has raised over $1.5 million for the Burn Fund. This achievement is supported by more than 500 off-duty professional fire fighters from the Lower Mainland and around BC who donate their time to set up, operate and take down the annual display.

The BC Professional Fire Fighters' Burn Fund
is a registered charity established in 1978 by the BC Professional Fire Fighters' Association. Over 3,700 professional fire fighters throughout British Columbia dedicate their time and skills to help burn survivors in the province.
