What: Crammed with sugar-plum-hugging Christmas cheer, kick off your holiday season at this free, family-friendly street festival. This year's event includes toe-tapping live music, a gift market, horse-drawn carriage rides and some super-cool ice-carving demonstrations. Also look out for Santa in a snowglobe as well as a nimble-footed Nutcracker ballerina. Fans of the Polar Express movie should also drop by the area's Roundhouse Community Centre where Vancouver's version––historic steam engine 374––will be decked out in twinkling lights for the day. Thirsty? Adults can also partake of a special CandyTown cocktail tour where they can toasting the season in style.
