Lights at Lafarge, Metro Vancouver’s largest free outdoor winter lights display, is back again for another holiday season.
The annual tradition will illuminate Lafarge Lake in Coquitlam throughout the season, with over 100,000 twinkling lights to enjoy from Friday, Nov. 27, until the end of February.
Guests of all ages can explore the outdoor display that wraps its way entirely around the lake, leading them on a 1.2 km loop through themed zones.
Located just steps from SkyTrain’s Lafarge Lake-Douglas Station, the huge holiday lights display will remain on from 4 to 10 p.m. each night.
Festivities begin with a season kickoff on Friday, Nov. 27, with live entertainment and food trucks.
Bundle up for live entertainment with Quayside Voices and The Unified, and enjoy holiday carols from Coastal Sound Children’s Choir. There will also be an official opening ceremony for all in attendance.
A magical fire and light performance takes centre stage at 7:35 p.m., which leaves plenty of time to indulge in the food trucks on site from 5 to 9 p.m.

The City of Coquitlam recommends that visitors plan to check out Lights at Lafarge on weekdays or during off-peak hours before 6 p.m. and after 8 p.m.
Visitors are also reminded that no Lights at Lafarge parking is permitted at the Town Centre Park Community Centre, Evergreen Cultural Centre, or City Centre Aquatic Complex.
“There is limited on-site parking at Town Centre Park and, due to the popularity of this event, it can get busy,” said the City. “Visitors are encouraged to walk or take public transit.”
