The festive season is here! And it looks brighter than ever.
The Marpole Business Association is pleased to celebrate the holidays with the 19th annual Christmas in Marpole Village event.
This free community festival is a month-long celebration of the holiday season in Marpole. We hope the entertainment, festive lights and street beautification initiatives will encourage everyone to get into the holiday spirit and bring joy to you and your family.
Celebrate Christmas in Marpole Village
From grassroots charitable campaigns to lighted trees and displays, carol singers and a certain bearded man in a red suit, Marpole is dressed up to celebrate the holidays and help our neighbours in need.
Marpole Cares Charity Campaign
The Marpole BIA is pleased to be partnering again with Marpole Oakridge Family Place, local religious institutions, businesses and many community partners to help local needy families and children this holiday season.
Marpole Cares is a grassroots charitable campaign, raising funds in support of local families and vulnerable seniors. This year marks the 14th anniversary of Marpole Cares. Last year, we provided hampers of food and gift cards for more than 160 local residents in greatest need of support.
If you can help with a donation, please contact Tracy Beshara at Marpole Family Place at 604-263-1405. Thank you for your generous support.
Holiday Caroling & Music
The Marpole BIA is pleased to bring holiday entertainers to provide free, festive music along Granville Street and in your stores this holiday season.
The Fandango Quartet returns to provide its wonderful and melodic holiday caroling along Granville St. on the Saturdays in December (7, 14, 21). Thank you for making all of our entertainers feel warm and welcome when they pop into your business.
Santa Stroll
Santa Claus will make a special appearance in Marpole on Saturday, December 21st. Between 1 and 4 PM, Santa and Mrs. Claus will stroll Granville Street, stopping in shops and handing out candy canes. He may also take gift requests, but only if you’ve been nice!
Seasonal Lighting
The Marpole BIA has brightened up the night with dynamic festive light pole mounts and bright white tree lights along Granville Street. These add to our festive street banners, making this holiday season our most beautiful yet.
The members of the Marpole Business Association wish you and yours a happy and healthy holiday season.
