Dundarave Beach House Festival of Lights

Dec 1, 2004

By Catherine Barr

 

Every year the pier at the foot of 25th street in West Van comes to life thanks to the folks at the Beach House at Dundarave. This year, the annual tree decorating event included outdoor carol singing, hot chocolate, the tree lighting ceremony and prizes for the best tree. Over 100 trees, which were purchased for $425 and decorated by local businesses, have been decorated and will remain lit until the New Year. An elegant cocktail soiree inside the restaurant also allowed tree sponsors a chance to mingle as they helped raise over $5,000 for the Family Services of the North Shore.

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.
