Immersive PNE Winter Fair now open for festive Vancouver holiday season

The most wonderful time of the year is in full swing, and at the heart of the holiday calendar is the PNE Winter Fair.

BC’s most unique winter fair will run on December 8, 9, and 14 to 23. Guests can even look forward to twice-nightly performances of the Nutcracker On Ice at the Pacific Coliseum.

This event is presented by BCAA and features holiday-themed food and drinks, light displays, live entertainment, and more.

“Set to Tchaikovsky’s glorious score, skaters will perform breathtaking high-speed leaps, awe-inspiring acrobatics, and sublime ice dance to make The Nutcracker on Ice a festive treat that will thrill and enchant all ages,” the PNE said in a release.

The Fair features three exciting new attractions: Sparkle in the Night – A Holiday Light Spectacular, the PNE Express Holiday Train, and Ice Bumper Cars at the Tim Hortons Ice Rink. The latter will also host holiday ice skating.
