This glittery Vancouver light display was named among the best and brightest in the world

A beloved light festival in Vancouver has been dubbed one of the most spectacular holiday light displays in the world.

Condé Nast Traveler named VanDusen Festival of Lights one of the world’s best displays in a roundup released earlier this month. It ranks alongside glittery shows in London, Hong Kong, and New York.

The travel magazine describes VanDusen as “easily one of the best holiday displays in the nation,” with more than one million bulbs.

“The garden’s 15 acres are stuffed to the brim with glittering trees, a festive carousel, and eight-minute light shows occurring every half hour—all inspired by the vibrant colors and unique plants and animals in the region,” Condé Nast says.
