Entertainment at the Vancouver Christmas Market

The Vancouver Christmas Market is a popular attraction in downtown Vancouver. It’s a wonderful place to spend time at during the holiday season. The outdoor market has a German theme and an impressive selection of vendors. At the venue there is also a carousel for kids and beautiful Christmas illuminations.

At the market there is live entertainment every day. The performances take place on the Flying Stage on the second level of the Christmas Pyramid in the middle of the attraction’s venue. Talented singers hit the stage with Christmas-themed performances.

The live entertainment usually runs daily. On weekdays there were performances at select times between around 5:00 pm and 9:30 pm. Performances on most weekends, on the other hand, run from about 4:30 pm until 9:30 pm or 10:00 pm.
