Step into a magical winter wonderland at Capilano Suspension Bridge Park with the return of the iconic Canyon Lights. From Friday, November 22, 2024 to Sunday, January 19, 2025, the Park will be aglow with millions of holiday lights, filling the air with festive cheer, seasonal treats, and fun for the whole family.
Stroll across the world-famous suspension bridge, illuminated by a mesmerizing display of multi-coloured lights that span the canyon, creating a breathtaking glow from end to end. Then, wander along Cliffwalk’s twinkling walkway along the cliff’s edge creating a stunning backdrop of lights along the granite cliff face. Over at Treetops Adventure, towering Douglas-fir trees are lit from tree top to bottom, offering visitors a fairytale-like journey up to 110 feet above the rainforest floor. This year’s event also brings back beloved fan-favourite displays and introduces exciting new features, including:
- Capilano Christmas Tree Lot Photo Spot: New this season, step into a holiday scene straight out of a festive postcard. With lush, live trees, a charming vintage red truck for that classic holiday photo, and a friendly lumberjack bear ready to spark big smiles, it’s the perfect place for magical memories. A rustic barn door backdrop completes this cozy winter setting, making it an ideal spot to light up your camera roll.
- Winter Rainforest Explorers: Join Dr. Woods, Ranger Racoon, Scout Squirrel, Ollie Otter, and Echo Eagle as they host a whimsical holiday market in the enchanting rainforest. Kids of all ages can stop at the Treehouse at Treetops Adventure to pick up a festive card. Then, set off on a self-guided adventure through the Park to collect character stickers and create their very own greeting card!
- Holiday Food & Drink Menu: Treat your taste buds to a festive feast! Swing by The Cliff House Restaurant & Bar to kick off your meal with feature menu items like the Frostbite cocktail or a cozy warm Mulled Wine. Indulge in the rich taste of Braised Short Rib, and don’t miss out on the heavenly Dark Chocolate Raspberry Yule Log for dessert.

Canyon Lights continues its support of the BC Professional Fire Fighters’ Burn Fund with partial proceeds from admissions donated to support fire and burn education in schools throughout British Columbia, as well as Burn Camp. The District of North Vancouver Fire Fighters Charitable Society will be onsite again this year to help collect donations from the public, on behalf of the Burn Fund. To date, Canyon Lights has donated over $510,000 to this worthy cause. Additionally, admissions help Capilano continue to host the Twelve Nights of Christmas, offering passes to local charities.
