This open-air museum in BC is transforming into a free 10-acre Christmas village

Who’s ready for the return of another classic holiday tradition? The Burnaby Village Museum is soon transforming into a 10-acre Christmas village, complete with seasonal entertainment, interactive demos, and delightful treats. Oh, and it’s completely free to attend!

Guests can roam the open-air museum at their leisure, taking in a variety of large holiday light installations and displays.

From seasonal scavenger hunts and festive live music to illuminated jugglers and “Stories on Wheels,” there are plenty of family-friendly activities and entertainment to look forward to this year.

And if you get hungry, you can treat yourself to a meal or treat at the new Mai’s Cafe (formerly the Ice Cream Parlour), or one of the on-site food trucks.
