Vancouver Christmas Market

The Vancouver Christmas Market runs November 16 through December 24, 2026 at Jack Poole Plaza, 1055 Canada Place. From the opening, weekdays start at 4 p.m. and weekends at 11:30 a.m., both through 9:30 p.m. Two pages on the same site disagree after that: the FAQ lists December 19 to 23 from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and December 24 from 11:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., and the plan page lists Christmas Eve as 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and moves the mid-run hour change by a day.

A single ticket starts at $7.99 and needs a 30-minute arrival window. You can stay once you are in, and you cannot come back after you leave. Kids 6 and under are free with no ticket, and the FAQ lists an early season pass from $30.99 through November 15 that skips the time slot and has to match a government ID.

The carousel and the 7 p.m. toast are included. Food, drinks, and the huts are extra. Waterfront Station is a short walk, and weekday evenings plus Friday through Sunday are the busy times, especially the last week.
