What To Do Around Vancouver This Week As The Holidays Creep Even Closer<\/h2>\n

Every year the holidays come breathing down your throat sooner and sooner, and I’m all for it! Well, to a certain extent, like, after Halloween at least please. I’ve already been to Christmas in November at the Fairmont’s Jasper Park Lodge, so that’s really put me in the mood, and the trip out to Potter’s Christmas Store in Surrey\u00a0<\/a>had me wanting to get my tree up asap. I’m looking forward to The Capilano Suspension Bridge, Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremonies, Ice Skating, the Christmas Market, Fly-Over Canada Christmas version, the Stanley Park Holiday Train and all sorts of other holiday traditions! Oh, and the food! Of course! Here’s a few ways to start celebrating, some not necessarily holiday-related, but nevertheless festive!<\/p>\n

CF Pacific Centre Brings the Sights and Sounds of the Holidays with Second Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony – Nov. 22<\/strong><\/h3>\n

CF Pacific Centre is once again getting ready to transform Vancouver\u2019s downtown core in to a magical holiday wonderland with a spectacular tree lighting ceremony planned on Wednesday, November 22 at 6 pm sharp!<\/p>\n

This year, the 40-foot-tall Christmas tree situated outside the centre\u2019s rotunda off Georgia and Howe streets will serve as the backdrop for a memorable musical performance led by jubilant volunteer choir group, Choir!Choir!Choir! As the tree lights up, choir members along with guests, holiday revelers and passersby, will join together in harmony to sing festive songs. Choir! Choir! Choir! started as a drop-in singing event and has exploded into internationally recognized group that has performed on big stages such as Polaris Music Prize Gala, Carnegie Hall, Radio City Music Hall, Massey Hall, The Juno Awards \u2013 and\u00a0 most recently united thousands of Tragically hip fans in a tribute for Gord Downie at Nathan Phillips Square in Toronto.<\/p>\n
