Dundarave Christmas Trees and Beach House Festival of Lights in West Van

Dec 1, 2005

By Catherine Barr

 

The 12th Annual Beach House Festival of Lights threw the switch on their celebrations last Thursday as CTV-9 broadcast the lighting of the Christmas trees live on television. The sponsors reception was held inside the Beach House Restaurant and featured fine food and libations. Dozens of decorated trees are located along the shoreline of the Dundarave Pier and you can vote of your favourite. All proceeds suppor the Family Services of the North Shore. The lights will remain lit until the new year.

Vancouver's best events and celebrity functions are all archived here. Vancouver pubs, clubs, nightclubs, gala events and fundraisers are included. Thanks for viewing.

Due to server capacity, you will not be able to access or click through to the larger photographs. With over 250,000 unique visits each month, our site would quickly exceed the amount of memory needed.

If you would like to receive a copy of a photograph, then please send an email and enclose the details of the event, the date, the name, the photo number and the names of the people in the photograph. Also, for security reasons, I prefer not to email copies of pictures to anyone other than the people who are actually in the photo. Thanks.
