“From December 17 until January 7, 2021, I invite you to be dazzled by IllumiNATION, a virtual celebration of lights across the country that will feature talented Canadians from coast to coast to coast,” said Steven Guilbeault, Minister of Canadian Heritage. “This virtual show would not have been possible without the contribution of partners such as Canada Place at the Port of Vancouver. Wherever you are, let’s discover the most beautiful lights in the country together.”

IllumiNATION will also premiere at the virtual launch of the 33^rd annual Christmas at Canada Place event, presented by the Port of Vancouver.

The public is invited to tune into the family-friendly, online event, which will feature highlights such as a photo tour of the historic Woodward’s Windows and Avenue of Christmas Trees, delicious holiday recipes, a special holiday-themed Sails of Light display, and more.
