What: Echoing the beloved European tradition of sparkling, free-entry Christmas markets, this brand new holiday happening is just a few steps from North Vancouver's Lonsdale Quay SeaBus terminal (the short ferry trip across is a fun activity in itself). Once you arrive, you'll find a sparkling shoreline array of more than 75 glowing wooden huts showcasing lots of festive treats, artisan crafts and unique gifts. But that's not all; this new event is going all out to create a warm and welcoming Yuletide vibe in its inaugural year, complete with live music, community performers, cheery illuminations and a full-sized covered ice rink where you can show off all your best moves. Don't forget to take a break and enjoy a warming indulgence or two (you'll find sizzling bratwursts, hot chocolate and––of course––mulled wine along with a full array of additional tasty treats). And be sure to snap a few twinkling selfies at the city's official Christmas tree, located right alongside.
