Tips & Advice

  • Have your child write their letter to Santa before you go and bring it along, since there's a spot to mail letters to Santa at the festival.
  • Stay until Santa arrives to light the Christmas tree, which comes toward the end of the evening in historic Ladner Village.
  • Dress warmly for an evening outdoors at the corner of 48th Avenue and Delta Street in late November.
  • Email info@ladnerbusiness.com if you'd like to help out, since the festival looks for colouring contest volunteers in November and sponsors in September.
