A mid-December festival billed as 鈥渢he most unique winter celebration in B.C.鈥� is planned for the Pacific National Exhibition grounds in Vancouver.
The new is a 10-day event featuring nightly indoor concerts by some popular performers, holiday lights, an outdoor market, skating at the Agrodome, theatre for kids, food and beverages, a nightly tree-lighting ceremony and other attractions.
It鈥檚 like the summer PNE Fair, but winterized.
From Dec. 14 to 23, the nightly concerts will be performed by The Kat & Dave Show Starring David Foster & Katharine McPhee, The Tenors, Tom Cochrane Band, Dallas Smith, Jann Arden, Holly Cole, Scott Bradlee鈥檚 Postmodern Jukebox: A Very Postmodern Christmas, Dionne Warwick and the Sounds of Christmas, Johnny Reid and A Boy Band Christmas: An Evening of Holiday and Hits (featuring Jeff Timmons, Drew Lachey and Justin Jeffre from 98 Degrees, James Jones of All 4 One, Trevor Penick from O-Town, and Ryan Cabrera).
The fair鈥檚 $15 ticket does not include admission to the nightly concert.
Concert tickets range from $39 to $69, and that fee includes Winter Fair admission. Concert tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 6 at .
鈥淎fter two years of COVID drive-through winter events, it was important for us to define our permanent place in the holiday event landscape,鈥� said Shelley Frost, PNE president and CEO.
鈥淭his event will be a significant annual addition to the PNE鈥檚 year-long programming and will mean that hundreds of new jobs will be created and millions of dollars in positive economic impact will be generated into the regional economy.鈥�
