Holiday Train Stops in the Fraser Valley
byThe CPKC Holiday Train has been touring Canada and the United States since November 20th and it’s almost at the end of the line in the Fraser Valley and the Tri-Cities!
Now celebrating its 25th anniversary, the Holiday Train raises money, food and awareness for the important work that food banks do in their communities while musicians play free concerts from the brightly decorated train’s stage.
How the Events Work
When the train arrives it will pull to a safe stop in front of the crowd in attendance. The stage door lowers and the band opens with its first song. After that, a brief presentation takes place with local food bank officials and other dignitaries.
Once complete, the band resumes performing a mix of traditional and modern holiday-themed songs. The whole event lasts about 30 minutes, and once the band plays its farewell show, the boxcar door closes, and the train slips off into the night on its way to the next stop.
