Here are all the festive concerts you can catch at PNE Winter Fair this month

Live music just sounds extra magical this time of year. That’s why we’re excited that a brand-new winter fair launching in Vancouver this month is bringing some fantastic acts to town.

The Pacific National Exhibition’s PNE Winter Fair is happening from December 14 to 23 at Hastings Park, with a holiday marketplace, stunning light displays, holiday-themed food and drinks, and more.

And each night of the Winter Fair will feature a Holiday Concert, with Grammy winners, Juno Award winners, and fan favourites in the all-star lineup.

“We are very excited to announce the inaugural PNE Winter Fair, building on the 112-year summer Fair tradition we believe that our new winter event will be a place where British Columbians will build memories celebrating the holiday season,” said PNE President and CEO Shelley Frost in a release. “After 2 years of COVID drive through winter events, it was important for us to define our permanent place in the holiday event landscape.

“This event will be a significant annual addition to the PNE’s year-long programming and will mean that hundreds of new jobs will be created and millions of dollars in positive economic impact will be generated into the regional economy.”
