Take a stroll through the historic village to enjoy the festive and old-fashioned bows, ornaments and decorations – as well as traditional entertainment, demonstrations, hands-on activities and exhibits from the early 1900s.
The smell of cedar and pine boughs, the sight of holiday wreaths with bright red bows, and the sounds of carollers is sure to remind visitors of Christmases past and present.
Young children will particularly enjoy the popular craft table, while children of all ages will enjoy sitting down with Father Christmas.
And, of course, no visit to the Burnaby Village Museum is complete without a whirl on the historic C.W. Parker Carousel - fun for the young and the young at heart.
Father Christmas listens to children’s wishes. (Father Christmas represents the spirit of Christmas, and is depicted as a lean man wearing a long belted robe and hat.)
Footlight Theatre returns to entertain visitors for another season. During the Heritage Christmas, their play will be presented more than 45 times! Admission to these performances is included with museum entrance.
Baking in the Farmhouse. Every Sunday, before Christmas, visitors will be treated to the smells and tastes of baking – right from the wood-stove of the Love Farmhouse kitchen.
