BRIGHT NIGHTS CHRISTMAS TRAIN
TWITTER | FACEBOOK | INSTAGRAM
Attending Bright Nights has been a part of the holiday season for Tamara since she was a little kid. It’s a tradition we now share with our kids to. Every year when Christmas time rolls around we look forward to heading out to Stanley Park and seeing all the millions of twinkling lights and going for a ride on the train.
Get ready to go down a little bit of memory lane with the photos we share in this post, from dating to married with kids. There is something special about getting all bundled up for the cold weather, loading up in the car and driving downtown. Bright Nights is an event that has many memories for our family. Have you ever been? Keep reading if you’d like the chance to win a family set of tickets!
This holiday season, Bright Nights is celebrating its 20th Anniversary of Bright Nights this holiday season with a Nostalgic Christmas – a look back on Bright Nights memories, family traditions, classic holiday films, vintage toys and more!
Bright Nights also wants you to join the celebration by sharing your favourite Bright Nights memory by tagging #BrightNights20 when you share on social media. Plus, on Saturday, December 2 from 3-5pm, Bright Nights welcomes family and friends for a special anniversary event to celebrate 20 years of giving, festivities, and lights with an anniversary cake and more!

My kids love Christmas and they would be in awe if they were able to see it!
Love all the pictures. Great memories indeed. ❤
My oldest son has always loved trains! We decided to bring him to Bright Nights when he was 2 and the look on his face as the train started to chug was the most amazing thing. He is 7 now and still loves trains and now has a little brother to share these Christmas memories with!
We love bright nights – been going since my daughter was born in 2007! I love seeing the look of awe and wonder on my kids’ faces when they see the lights and decorations!
So many awesome memories from the first time I went when we first moved to vancouver with my 13 year old to taking my 2 year old last chrimas for his first time. We can’t wait to go again this year
Loved watching my nephew see all the light for the first time while riding the train 🙂
I haven’t been in years so can’t recall a favourite memory! My son has never been, so I’d like to start some memories with him!
I’ve never been but it’s something that I’ve always wanted to do. My son would love this!
I want to see the amazing light designs!
Our kids would love this !!!!!
favourite bright nights memory was when Santa jumped in the picture with us!
I love bright nights! I’d love to take my kids again this year now that the baby is a little older!
Never been…I’m sure my two year old and five year old would love it!
Our family loves going to bright nights. The kids faces are priceless every year when we surprise them with the adventure
We had six family members from out of town stay with us one Christmas so we all piled in two cars and drive from langley to Stanley park for bright nights. It was such s fun time.
We took our son to Bright Nights when he was 3 years old and I’ll never forget the look on his face as he gazed at all of the lights. We hope to bring our newest addition this year so they both can enjoy the dazzling display.
We love Bright Nights. We have gone a few times and love seeing our kids’ faces. My favourite memory is of our toddlers dancing around in the manger scene. They loved all the music and lights.
This would be a great event to take my kids to go and enjoy….especially my younger son who loves trains so much! Hopefully we can start this as a tradition with my family.
We’ve never been to bright nights! This would be a great tradition to start with the family!
My husband & I have been going since it started & we were dating. Now we take our kids!
Every year I go with my family and see the lights and ride the train. I’m looking forward to going with my son again this year who is 10 and going for the first time with my niece.
I haven’t gone to your display but I think my husband, young kids & I would like to see it!
I haven’t been to Bright Nights but would really love to go as we just moved to Canada and I would like to start a Christmas tradition with my family, and that is by going to see Bright Nights every Christmas!
We did this for the first time last year and it was so fun! Your photos came out much better than our photos!
