Vancouver Christmas Market returns to Jack Poole Plaza from November 13 to December 24 – and ‘First Batch’ tickets are available now!
Indulge in the holiday tradition of a wintry German town square, with wooden artisan huts, magical light displays, and European food and drink vendors – all surrounding a new 35 ft. walk-through Christmas tree and the signature walk-up Glühwein bar at the Pyramid. The city’s trademark holiday event will also see the return of the Aeroplan Christmas Carousel (free to ride!) and a full calendar of popular entertainment and events, including Christmas Karaoke, Holiday Trivia, a Kids’ Lantern Parade, photos with St. Nikolaus, Date Nights, and plenty of new festive additions.

The beloved European-inspired Market, now in its 14th year, will feature 90+ wooden huts with new and returning foods, spirits, and artisan gift vendors with roots both locally in BC and overseas in Europe. The Market will also bring enhanced lighting displays, fresh photo ops, and the season’s brand-new entertainment and event schedule to add to the Old-World Christmas Charm.
This year’s Market will again offer an online reservation system. Upon purchasing online tickets, guests can select a date and a half-hour arrival time slot. Once they enter the Market, visitors are invited to stay and enjoy the wonders of this European Christmas village as long as they like.
The holiday festivities also continue south of the border this year, with a German-inspired sister Market returning for its second year. The Seattle Christmas Market returns after a successful 2023 season for around 5 weeks of Christmas cheer from November 21 to December 24.
