Last updated: November 13, 2026

Concord Pacific Celebrates 10 Years with Burnaby’s Festive Village!

The holiday season comes alive once again as Festive Village returns to Burnaby Village Museum beginning November 25, inviting visitors to experience Burnaby’s most beloved holiday traditions. Presented in partnership with Concord Pacific, the annual event transforms the museum’s historic 10-acre open-air site into a festive wonderland filled with sparking lights, seasonal entertainment and family-friendly activities.

Residents and visitors alike are invited to celebrate the wonder of the season. Stroll through beautifully illuminated streets, enjoy live performances, discover festive scavenger hunts and take in the sights and sounds of a traditional holiday celebration. From twinkling displays and holiday music to cherished visits with Father Christmas, Festive Village offers a warm and memorable experience for guests of all ages.

"There's nothing quite like walking through Burnaby Village Museum when it comes alive with lights, music and laughter," said Mayor Mike Hurley. "We can't wait to welcome Burnaby residents and visitors back to Festive Village again this holiday season."

Bright in Burnaby Tree lighting ceremony on November 28: The highlight of the season takes place November 28 at 6 pm. Join family, friends and neighbours as the village lights up in celebration, creating a magical evening of community spirit and holiday cheer. The event also supports local families in need. Every carousel ride purchased between 5pm and 9pm will benefit the Burnaby Christmas Bureau, and thanks to the generosity of Concord Pacific, donations will be matched to double the impact.

Concord Community Day on December 12: Join us on December 12 for Concord Community Day, a special celebration filled with games, activities and festive photo opportunities for the whole family. For every photo taken during the event, Concord Pacific will donate to Variety the Children’s Charity, helping BC kids live without limits.

Terry Hui, President and CEO of Concord Pacific, said, “Concord Pacific is proud to contribute to Burnaby’s growing communities through programs, public art and new public spaces, including the recently announced construction of Dawson Park at Concord Brentwood.”

Hui continued, “We are honoured to once again partner with the City of Burnaby to present the much-loved holiday tradition of Burnaby’s Festive Village. We extend our warmest wishes to all Burnaby residents and families for a wonderful holiday season.”

Festive Village offers free admission, with carousel rides priced at $2.86 plus tax.
