Downtown Vancouver's only free holiday festival is coming back this year, and it is bringing some serious holiday cheer with a ton of activities.
CandyTown, the annual event, is happening on November 27, and it completely transforms the Yaletown neighbourhood into a vibrant and festive celebration.

You'll get to feel like a kid again, giddy for Christmas morning to come.
After getting cancelled due to the pandemic, the event is now back on and ready to celebrate the community.

There are people dressed up like holiday characters that walk around you throughout the day.

And there's also a gift market where you can stock up on stocking stuffers, and ice sculptures that make the perfect picture moment.

A new Candyland board game is also coming, and it's going to be life-sized, with interactive characters. If a board game coming to life doesn't creep you out too much, this sounds like fun.
There is also a new entrance that is described by the organizers as an "elaborate ice palace." Sounds like just the right amount of extravagance to me.
You can also take a horse-drawn carriage ride, to seriously feel like you're Vanessa Hudgens in The Princess Switch.
The carriage and the live ice carving at the event are by donation. Whatever you choose to donate helps the B.C. Children's Hospital Foundation.
