Looking for a brilliant show of Christmas lights to illuminate this dark month? Why not take a stroll among the two million lights at Bright Nights in Stanley Park? Colourful trees, displays and decorations line winding paths near the Miniature Train in the park. While the entry to Bright Nights is by donation, admission is required to ride the train. Be sure to come early and dress warmly as the train is really popular and there’s always a line-up waiting to board.

Bright Nights in Stanley Park is open nightly from 3:00 pm PST to 10:00 pm PST Sunday through Thursday, and from 3:00 pm PST until 11:00 pm PST Fridays and Saturdays, excluding Christmas Day. The luminary display runs until January 1st, 2013. Donations benefit the BC Professional Fire Fighters Association Burn Fund.
