A European Village, right in Vancouver.
Sixteen seasons after it first opened at Jack Poole Plaza, Vancouver’s original German Christmas market is ready to welcome you back.
Step through the new German Village facades and wander the Marktplatz and Gourmetstrasse, past more than 90 wooden huts. Warm up with traditional German Glühwein beneath the glowing four-storey Pyramid, leave a wish in the Wishing Forest, and settle in by the fire pits as snow falls over the village. If you find the Secret Wall Cocktail Hut, ring the bell and see who hands you your drink.
Your favourite traditions are back
Celebrate the season with beloved Market traditions and festive experiences, including the limited-edition 2026 Vancouver Christmas Market Collectable Mug, photos with Santa, Krampus Night, and a romantic stroll down Lovers’ Lane. Plus, Après Ski Nights are back at the Alpen Haus, featuring DJ Flipout setting the vibe for a festive night out on November 21st.
