Get into the holiday spirit by exploring a 60-foot tunnel of lights, an enchanted forest, a sparkling grotto, and a majestic tree of life. Stories will also be interwoven with other light art installations throughout Rose Park.

You can keep the festive cheer going with activities and firepits at the Squamish Adventure Centre. There will even be hot chocolate and visits from Jolly Old St. Nick to look forward to.

“We would love for people to come and visit Squamish, or stop off after their day of skiing and boarding in Whistler,” organizers added in a statement. “They can spend some time checking out the light art, enjoy festive favourites such as visits from Santa on Friday nights, and hang out for a while and enjoy a hot chocolate around the fire and something fun to do for all ages”

This first-ever Squamish at Dusk is being created by Squamish social enterprise and The Wilder with Whistler’s Best Coast Lights, with partnerships and sponsorships with Tourism Squamish, Stark Architecture, Sunbelt Rentals, Squamish Arts, Matthews West, and advertising help from the Locals Board.
