About Us

A free Christmas Market with a European Flair!
It's all about bringing our community together and ensuring everyone feels included during the holiday season.
Come check out the beautiful light displays, snap some photos, meet Santa, indulge in some delicious comfort food, sip on mulled wine, skate on the ice rink, gaze at the City's Christmas tree, and enjoy live music, roaming performers, and festive choirs. It's going to be a great time for all!

The holiday season is important to us organizers

Since the holiday season is important to us organizers, we wanted to bring a taste of European Christmas cheer to North Vancouver. We've been to many European Christmas markets and thought we needed to share that experience with others here. We're all about giving back to the community and having the community involved, mainly because we know from experience how tough it can be financially to take the family out to events.
Our goal is to host a Christmas market that's free to get into, like European traditions, and aimed at making things a little easier for single parents and low-income families. We are thankful to have found a partner in the City of North Vancouver who shares these ideals.

It might not be perfect, but we're learning as we go

We hope to be here for years and have a three-year growth plan to improve and grow this event each year. Everything is good as long as we can bring the community together and feel the Christmas spirit. 

Welcome!
