Bright Nights, which spent 27 years in Vancouver's Stanley Park, will now be part of Noel Surrey at the Cloverdale Fair Grounds.

Overview

  • Surrey announced the holiday fundraiser will anchor Noel Surrey at the Cloverdale Fairgrounds, confirming the event’s new home.
  • Bright Nights will run November 28 to December 28, with admission listed at $17–$22 Monday–Thursday and $19–$25 Friday–Sunday, and free entry for children six and under.
  • Organizers say the Cloverdale Agriplex will host a large indoor venue alongside outdoor light displays, with admission including attractions, entertainment, and parking.
  • The B.C. Professional Firefighters Burn Fund’s signature event spent roughly 27 years in Stanley Park and remains its largest annual fundraiser.
  • The move follows the shutdown of Stanley Park’s 60‑year‑old miniature train after an operator fell ill from exhaust fumes, and the Vancouver Park Board says it was not informed of the decision earlier in the day.
