During the summer, there are a ton of events and activities in our Downtown, and there is a growing number of evening events. During the winter months, the number of events and activities in our Downtown decreases.
If you watch Hallmark Christmas movies, which I do, you will have seen many Christmas Markets in our Downtown, but sadly none in real life. That is about to change. This year, there will be a real Christmas Market in Downtown Langley City running from late November until Christmas Eve.
The market will feature over 100 vendors, free entry, daily entertainment, and family-friendly programming. The same folks who put on the Shipyards Christmas Market in the City of North Vancouver are putting on this Christmas market.
While Christmas may be the furthest thing from people’s minds right now, planning work for the market is underway. If you’d like to learn more about the market, including information for vendors and entertainers, please visit the Langley Christmas Village website.
One of the long-standing things that I and others have been advocating for is more evening and winter events and activities in our Downtown to help bring our community together and create more opportunities for people to participate in positive activities, which reduces negative activities. I’m very happy that Langley City will have a full Christmas Market this year. I will certainly be there.
