Granville Island Festive Lights

About: Enter on Anderson Street under the iconic Granville Island neon sign. Keep to the right to take in the lights. To your left is the canopy of lights connecting Cartwright Street to Railspur Alley along a pedestrian alleyway. Continue to follow the road to the right and on to the east end of the “Island” – keep your eyes to the right for a new shopping area strung with festoon lighting. Performance Works Theatre is all aglow and the trees in Ron Basford Park are hung with musical notes. Follow the road as it curves past the Granville Island Hotel, and look up to the vintage yellow crane strung with lights. Follow the road for all of these sights and more.
Home Christmas Lights
Check out this interactive map of homes around the Lower Mainland that are inviting visitors to drive by to look at their light displays.
When I was young we love piling into the car and going to look at all the Christmas lights in New Westminster’s heritage neighbourhood near Queen’s Park. Afterwards we’d get White Spot car-hop hot chocolate and snacks. While we can’t have big events and gatherings, there is some solace in reliving these memories on four wheels.

Thanks to Honda Canada for powering some of my local adventures and errands this year. Special shout out to the Honda CR-V, my favourite of the fleet (I know, we shouldn’t have favourites), with its comfort, pick-up, tech trimmings, all the driver-assist Honda features we love. Perfect for our family of two plus luggage, snowboards, groceries, Ikea hauls and more.
