The Playground - Week 33

Welcome to The Playground, a place for Vancouver families. Every Wednesday I post a roundup of upcoming family-friendly events and activities.

Welcome to The Playground, a place for Vancouver families. Every Wednesday I post a roundup of upcoming family-friendly events and activities. I’m always on the lookout for fun stuff to do, so if there’s something happening that you think I should know about, contact me.

In The Playground for the week of December 22-28: The Steveston Santa Claus Parade, Christmas in Kerrisdale and Christmas on the Coast.

At 6:00 tonight, the Steveston Rotary club is hosting their annual Santa Clause Parade. Be sure to bring some non-perishable food items for the Steveston Seniors Program.

Christmas in Kerrisdale continues today with a holiday horse and carriage rides, Christmas Quartets and a visit from Santa and his elves. The events run between 11-4PM and free parking can be found at the Kerrisdale Parkade at W. 42nd Ave. & Yew St.

Finally, the H. R. MacMillan Space Centre is hosting Christmas on the Coast daily at 2PM. "...beautiful West Coast imagery, sparkling city lights, and traditional Christmas music performed by acclaimed Canadian artists..." Sounds like a great way to get out of the rain and into the spirit.

All the best to you and your family over the holidays.

Apologies for the insanely over-exposed photograph. It was night time, I was using an iPhone and I was a little awestruck.
