Bloedel Conservatory is getting into the holiday spirit with Enchanted Nights.
Set
among the tropical plants and company of 200 exotic birds, Enchanted
Nights is a miniature world of artisan fairy and
sprite villages with illuminated landscapes, holiday music and live
entertainment. It runs daily from December 4 to January 3 (closed
December 25), 4 – 9 pm.
Several local artists - Benjamin Kikkert of New-Small & Sterling Studio Galss, Melissa Hume of Dirty Clay Studios, Christopher Moreno of 365 Productions, Corey Cote and the Enchanted Forest Collective - are brining the miniature fairly life to life.
“Bloedel
Conservatory is a fantastic setting in which to work with magic and
whimsy so we’re very pleased to have local artists involved in
Vancouver’s newest holiday event,” said Vancouver Park Board Vice Chair
Sarah Kirby-Yung.
The
fun continues outside at Queen Elizabeth Park plaza, the highest point
in the city, with holiday lights, pony rides and tasty treats.
Tickets
are $8.50 for adults, $6.50 for seniors and youth, $5.25 for children
and $19 for families. Children three and under are free. Advance
tickets can be purchased at VanDusen Garden and online.
And anyone buying tickets to Festival
of Lights at VanDusen Garden, receives free entry to Enchanted Nights—two events for the price of one! The Park Board is also offereing a special deal to Bright Night Christmas Train attendees who receive two for one coupons to Enchanted Nights.
Free parking at Bloedel is available at the top lot Queen Elizabeth Park. More information about the event can be found at Vancouver.ca/EnchantedNights.
