Stanley Park Train 2024
After a successful return last year, the Stanley Park Train has resumed its spot as one of the city’s top attractions.
The most anticipated of these is the Bright Nights Train, which will operate from November 8th to January 4th, between 4 pm and 10 pm (closed only on Christmas Day).
How to get tickets
The first batch of tickets will go on sale Friday, November 8th, at noon, with access to the waiting room beginning at 11:30 am. Be sure to log in early if you’d like to secure a spot, as tickets have previously sold out very quickly.
Note that tickets must be purchased online in advance. There are limited time slots available, and no tickets will be sold on-site. If you miss this opportunity, don’t worry—a second batch of tickets typically goes on sale later in the month.

Stanley Park Bright Nights’ sparkling light displays enter their 27th year of holiday cheer.
Many familiar and beloved sights will be returning. Including the dazzling illuminations, iconic fire truck, giant red reindeer, and tunnel of lights will once again warm visitor’s hearts.
The lights are not the only things spreading Christmas cheer. Onsite fire fighters will extend cheerful seasons greetings, Santa’s Workshop will be open for holiday photo opportunities, and food trucks will offer festive treats.

The Bright Nights attraction is made possible by the dedication of BC firefighters, who volunteer their time to decorate the park. As such, proceeds from the event go towards the BC Professional Fire Fighters’ Burn Fund.
Guests can donate to the Burn Fund, either through admission or partaking in the Bright Nights 50/50 draw. Previous years jackpot has been for $200,000-500,000!
