Frequent Questions
Why Does the Vancouver Christmas Market Charge Admission?
Thank you for asking! Unlike some German Christmas markets that may get public funding, our market is privately run. The admission fee helps us cover essential costs—like venue rentals, staffing, decorations, and supporting local vendors—ensuring that we can create a magical, festive experience for all. Your contribution is a big part of bringing this holiday tradition to life! Plus, keep an eye out for discounts, with up to 50% off tickets, season passes, and our special $5 tickets for select times.
When is the Vancouver Christmas Market Open in 2024?
This year, the Christmas Market will be open daily from November 13 to December 24.
Where is the Market Located?
The Vancouver Christmas Market is at Jack Poole Plaza, right downtown at the Olympic Cauldron, 1055 Canada Place, Vancouver, BC, V6C 3L5.
How Do Time Slots Work?
To make your experience smooth and enjoyable, we use time slot bookings to manage capacity. When you buy your tickets online, you’ll pick a 30-minute time slot for your arrival. Just arrive during your slot, and you’re welcome to stay as long as you’d like once inside! If you’re a few minutes late, don’t worry—you can join the next available slot’s line.
Do I Need a Timeslot for My Child Under 6?
Kids under 6 get in for free! When booking your tickets, just add a free child’s ticket for the same time slot as your ticket.
I Bought a Ticket for Someone Else—Does It Need Their Name?
No need to change the name! General admission tickets don’t require matching names, so you’re all set. Only season passes need to match the holder's name.
Can I Buy Tickets at the Gate?
Yes, tickets are available at the gate, but buying in advance is a great idea! It helps you:
1. Lock in your preferred timeslot.
2. Access discounted rates and avoid higher “Day Of” prices.
3. Skip the Box Office line.
Popular times, especially on weekends, can sell out, so it’s smart to check availability before coming. If a slot is marked “Sold Out,” tickets won’t be available at the gate either.
Are There Vegetarian or Vegan Options?
Absolutely! Check the Vendors Page to see which vendors offer vegetarian and vegan choices, using the filter option to find options quickly.
Can I Bring My Pet?
Service animals are welcome, but other pets, including dogs of any size, aren’t allowed in the Market due to health regulations. However, they do have a pet accessory vendor, so you can pick up a treat to bring home to your furry friend!
