Carol Ships Festival Parade Of Lights Society

Holiday activities for all ages in Vancouver

A uniquely Vancouver tradition, the city’s waterways come ablaze each year during the annual Carol Ships Parade of Lights. A flotilla of boats and yachts adorned with thousands of bright lights cruise along the coastline. Check out the procession of sparkling vessels from the shore on five parade nights throughout the month of December. Of course, the best way to see these shimmering ships is to get out on the water yourself. Book a holiday cruise and check out the glistening nautical parade from a unique vantage point while enjoying dinner, carolling, dancing and general festive merriment.
