Events & Happenings in the West End
Holiday Installations
Our festive lighting installation by Star Illuminations is now brightening the corner of Robson & Cardero, adding a warm, welcoming glow to this busy corridor. Over at Jim Deva Plaza, the Candy Cane Cottage, created by our favourite duo, the WKNDRS, and sparkling snowflake lights set the stage for a cheerful holiday backdrop, perfect for photos and community gatherings.
Our tree is shining proudly in 1800 Davie Plaza, where it will remain illuminated all month long for everyone to enjoy. You’ll also find our glowing “Merry” letters, created in partnership with Destination Downtown, spreading extra seasonal cheer.
These festive displays are the perfect spots to explore, snap photos, and soak in the magic of the season.
