Bundle up the family and join a holiday experience like no other, as the iconic Stanley Park locomotives once again wind their way through the magical Stanley Park forest, alight with thousands of sparkling lights. Kids of all ages will cherish memories of riding the Stanley Park Train at Bright Nights for years to come.
Stroll through the plaza to enjoy even more lights, whimsical displays, and the crowd-pleasing vintage fire truck and big red reindeer. Make sure you check out the array of tasty treats offered by our food vendors on your way to the North Pole workshop, where you can snap a pic with Santa and his firefighter friends.
Tickets for the Bright Nights Train have sold out :(
Even though the train tickets have sold, there is still plenty of beautiful holiday sights to see at the Bright Nights festival until the end of the year.
Reindeer Café and Roadstop
The Roadstop will be on the plaza with classic grab-and-go snacks like churros, pretzels, and their ever-popular hot chocolate and apple cider. For something a bit more substantial, the Reindeer Café will be serving their classic burgers, fries, and hot dogs.
Insomniac’s Coffee
Serving up specialty coffee concoctions to those in need of caffeine. For something a little more soothing, they also offer a variety of herbal teas.
The Praguery food truck
