Love the Capilano Suspension Bridge’s light displays and now there is the world’s tallest live Christmas tree! GLV

Canyon Lights, Capilano Suspension Bridge Park’s popular holiday light display is adding some spectacular sparkle for the holidays as it lays claim as the home of the world’s tallest living Christmas tree.

Standing 46.4m (152 ft.) tall, the towering Douglas-fir is adorned with 10,000 twinkling lights.

Though other communities claim to have the tallest living Christmas tree, Capilano’s 250 year old Douglas-fir appears to rise above the competition. (In 2012, Ferndale, California claimed the tallest living Christmas tree on record at 150ft.)

Hundreds of thousands of lights will also adorn the rainforest canopy, the Suspension Bridge and CLIFFWALK. A children’s scavenger hunt, gingerbread cookie decorating, sing-a-long carols with the holiday band and glass blowing with Malcolm Macfadyen are all back by popular demand!

Canyon Lights runs Saturday, November 30, 2013 to Saturday, January 4, 2014. Park hours are 11:00am – 9:00pm. Canyon Lights tickets are valid all day with holiday activities beginning at 4:00pm. Capilano will be operating free round trip shuttle service from Canada Place.

Partial proceeds from admission will be donated to the BC Professional Fire Fighters’ Burn Fund. Capilano will continue hosting community nights for local charities including Canuck Place, Special Olympics BC, Big Brothers, Big Sisters, North Shore Neighbourhood House, Easter Seals and Kids Up Front.
