What: The family-friendly light-up party for North Vancouver's official Christmas tree is a short walk from the Lonsdale Quay SeaBus terminal. But it's definitely worth coming for a full itinerary of free festive fun. There'll be live music and ice-skating performances plus face-painting and balloon animal-making. Roving holiday characters will be wandering around and there will even by appearances from Santa and Mrs Claus. Don't get too  busy, though, or you might miss the switch-on of the 40ft Christmas tree at 4:30pm!
