With the holiday celebration now in its eighth year, McArthurGlen Vancouver invites you to step into a winter wonderland full of festive, family-friendly activities to spread the holiday cheer with their annual Sparkle Brighter holiday celebrations. This year the festivities have been extended and will take place from Thursday, November 16 to Saturday, November 18, 2023. McArthurGlen will be bringing back its iconic 52-foot tree, and with the help of Santa, the tree will be lit up to kick off this joyous holiday season.
Along with one of the lower mainland’s largest trees being lit, Sparkle Brighter is a three-day event packed with a variety of activities and performances to fill the centre with holiday spirit, such as: stilt walkers, festive crafts, local musical acts and, as always, exclusive offers providing gift-giving inspiration. New this year, Frosty’s Hideaway, located next to Jimmy Choo will feature a variety of activities, including wreath making & champagne bar.
