Tips & Advice

Below are some suggestions to help you make the most of your visit to Maple Ridge and the Celebrate the Night event.

TIP #1: Memorial Peace Park is located in the heart of Maple Ridge at 22407 Dewdney Trunk Road. There is a fair bit of parking in the area, but not a ton. Try to arrive early and be prepared to walk a bit.

TIP #2: The event happens rain or shine, so, if it looks like rain, still go, but remember to take your umbrella and waterproof gear.

TIP #3: Make a day of your trip and explore the area. Kanaka Creek Regional Park is close by, and Alouette Lake and Golden Ears Provincial Park aren’t too far away either. All are beautiful this time of year and great places for a walk.

TIP #4: Check out Central Spark in Burnaby’s Central Park on the Friday before Halloween if you like fireworks. There’s also the Richmond Fireworks Festival at Minoru Park on Halloween night. Both venues are accessible by SkyTrain.
