DUNDARAVE NATIVITY & PADDLE SONGS

The Dundarave Festival brings you Christmas as you’ve never seen it before, fabulously festive and absolutely free in the Festival Longhouse and Nativity Pavilion. Surrounded by a forest of Christmas trees, the only one like it in coastal British Columbia, you and everyone you love can connect with the bright spirit of the season as we approach the longest night of the year. From the ground breaking music of local songwriters to the ancient songs the ancestors of the Squamish Elders sang on these shores for thousands of generations, the Dundarave Nativity & Paddle Songs brings you a loving Christmas.
WORLD CHRISTMAS
December 16th – Noon to Dusk
The World Christmas, unique to the Dundarave Festival of Lights, celebrates the richness of Canada’s cultural diversity. From the Francophone roots of our country, to the heat of Mariachi and foot stomping Celtic chords, the World Christmas brings you the season as you may have never seen it before. Set in our bright forest of Christmas trees, this afternoon of fabulously festive and absolutely free concerts speaks to the true spirit Christmas: a season of mirth, music and joy that leaves no one out in the cold. Watch this space for a taste of what you’ll find.
