Events in Vancouver: Winter Solstice Festival
Get ready for the31st Annual Winter Solstice Festival, this Saturday December 21st in Yaletown and at Granville Island!
The darkest moments of winter solstice are approaching and we eagerly anticipate celebrating this seasonal transition with thousands of engaged participants! Join hundreds of community members walking in the 3 lantern processions along False Creek to Granville Island, with yet another procession in David Lam Park, all led by musicians and each filled with lanterns and joy!
Experience the Labyrinth of Light
The labyrinth has long been used for meditation, prayer and sites of ritual in various cultures around the world. Created with over 500 pure beeswax candles, the winter solstice labyrinth invites you to warm yourself in a self-guided ceremony intended to help release old attachments and envision new possibilities as the darkest night of the year births a new season.
