Heritage Holidays
at the Shipyards

What is it? Bring the family and step back into festive seasons past at the brilliant Britannia Shipyards National Historic Site in Steveston. Hosted in the evocative Chinese Bunkhouse heritage building, you'll discover a fascinating array of holiday traditions and nostalgia, while kids of all ages will have the chance to indulge in some cool Christmassy crafts––as well as an equally cool scavenger hunt! Need a warm-up on a chilly winter's day? Free hot drinks will also be served during your visit. A great way to escape from the usual bustling rush of the festive season, save time to explore the wider boardwalk heritage attraction while you're here, and try to imagine what it was like to celebrate the holidays in decades past. Keep in mind that the charming Winter Tram is also a short walk away, while additional Winter in the Village events and attractions are also running throughout Steveston at this time of year––why not make a day of it?!
