Dazzling holiday lights in a pocket forest on the mountainside of West Vancouver have returned by popular demand for the Christmas season.
The lighting on the 200-metre-long Trestle Bridge within British Pacific Properties’ (BPP) Cypress Village area will come to life nightly until the end of February 2025.
The Trestle Bridge spans two branches of Cave Creek through BPP’s Uplands neighbourhood and was inspired by structures from the historic Kettle Valley Railway in the BC interior. It is one of the public amenities built by BPP as part of the residential neighbourhood.
In addition to the Trestle Bridge’s lighting, BPP has also expanded its activation of Cypress Pop-Up Village, which is decorated and lit for the holidays.
The pop-up village features The Shed, a heated, covered outdoor food and beverage spot, serving festive treats and beverages like hot coffee, beer and pizza.
There is also a designated lookout at the pop-up village, where visitors can take in incredible panoramic views of Burrard Inlet and Metro Vancouver.
BPP is extending the lights along the mountain path that leads from the pop-up village to the bridge for a festive walkway visitors can stroll daily until 10 pm.
When: Now until February 2025
Time: Until 10 pm daily
Where: 3757 Cypress Bowl Road, West Vancouver (location of the pop-up village and
