Shipyards Christmas Market
This winter, a free-entry Christmas market is bringing holiday magic to North Vancouver’s waterfront.
The Shipyards Christmas Market is offering a European-style holiday event, complete with delicious treats, carols, and handcrafted gifts that are perfect for the season.
Attendees are invited to taste their way down the Spirit Trail with over 20 food vendors, offering everything from traditional haxen to French raclette. Whether you’re craving something sweet or savoury, you’re sure to find it here.
And once you’ve had your fill of treats and did some shopping, you can slide onto the skating rink! This magical addition requires no bookings or session fees: just hop onto the rink when there’s room!
If you’re looking for the best nights to go on, try hitting up the market on a weekday. Weekends always bring the rush, so you can expect thinner crowds during the middle of the week.
Visitors will enjoy:
- Artisan vendor huts offering handmade gifts
- A public skating rink with views of the Burrard Inlet and North Shore mountains
- Live entertainment, music, and photo-worthy light displays
- Holiday staples like bratwurst, hot cocoa, and mulled wine
- Photos with Santa and Mrs. Claus
For a free Christmas market with all the fixings of a classic holiday celebration, head over to North Vancouver!
