Donate NowA Holiday Tradition
Bright Nights in Stanley Park is the single largest fundraising event for the Burn Fund. Since its first year in 1997, Bright Nights is made possible by hundreds of dedicated fire fighters who travel from across the province to volunteer thousands of hours to string three million Christmas lights and create a magical wonderland.
Bright Nights is a free event with admission by donation, and every contribution helps support the BC Professional Fire Fighters’ Burn Fund survivor programs and services. In addition to a wide array of light displays, Bright Nights will include fan favourites like the iconic fire truck, giant red reindeer and the tunnel of lights in the plaza. There will be fire fighters welcoming guests, plenty of candy canes, and the barn will be transformed into Santa’s workshop for holiday photos.
The holiday event is curated in partnership with the Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation and the BC Professional Fire Fighters’ Burn Fund. A portion of the proceeds from the train’s ticket sales are donated to the BC Professional Fire Fighters Burn Fund. The Park Board has donated more than $2.5 million to the Burn Fund since the event partnership began in 1998.
The Bright Nights 50/50 is an extension of the holiday event with proceeds from both fundraisers supporting the Burn Fund’s programs year-round.
Visit Bright Nights from November 29, 2024 – January 4, 2025
The 27th annual Bright Nights in Stanley Park will be celebrated with twinkling light displays and warm welcomes from off-duty fire fighter volunteers every night.
Admission to Bright Nights is by donation. In addition to a wide array of light displays, Bright Nights will include fan favourites like the iconic fire truck, giant red reindeer and the tunnel of lights in the plaza. There will be fire fighters welcoming guests, plenty of candy canes, and the barn will be transformed into Santa’s workshop for holiday photos.
Thank you to the hundreds of fire fighters who travel from across the province to volunteer during setup, operations and takedown. Without their support, this event would simply not be possible!

The Bright Nights 50/50 was created in 2020 to recoup lost funds during the cancellation of Bright Nights due to the pandemic. It also supported fundraising efforts in 2021 when mechanical issues and the theft of electrical cords forced the premature closure of the event and in 2022 when the Stanley Park Train was not running. The Bright Nights 50/50 is an important holiday fundraiser for the Burn Fund.
