Lights, concerts, holiday fun: Vancouver's getting a new Christmas season event
The Pacific National Exhibition is taking a page from its own book. Inspired by their own legendary annual summertime Fair, the holiday season in Vancouver will now include the brand-new PNE Winter Fair.
Running nightly from Dec. 14 to 23, the PNE Winter Fair draws from the best of what's on offer during the summer Fair and translates that into a festive, seasonal, holiday version, complete with twinkling lights, activities, and an "all-star" concert line-up of live musical acts. The Winter Fair, which the PNE hails as "the most unique winter celebration in B.C.," will feature holiday-themed food and drink; an outdoor Holiday Marketplace; live performances for kids; ice skating in the Agrodome; Christmas-themed Duelling Pianos; a WinterLights walk-through light display; and a nightly tree-lighting ceremony.
The major draw for many, however, may be the concerts, with a different big-name act each night, from absolute icons like Dionne Warwick to Canadian legends like Jann Arden, and even a closing night that will have boy band fans going through all the feels. Concert tickets range from $39 to $69, and each concert ticket includes Winter Fair admission.
Tickets for Winter Fair go on sale Oct. 6. All entertainment elements, outside of the nightly concerts, in the Winter Fair are free with admission.Where: PNE Fair Grounds - 2901 E Hastings St, Vancouver
