If you’ve ever found out about a great Christmas event after it was already over, this list is for you.
New West Spotlight’s annual Christmas Events List is back — bringing holiday happenings from across New Westminster together in one easy place.
And this is only the beginning.
We already have 114 events taking place over 46 days, with everything from Christmas markets and concerts to family activities, performances, community celebrations and visits with Santa.
Based on previous years, we know there are plenty more still to come.
West-tin Is Scouring the Net So You Don’t Have To
West-tin is busy searching websites, social media, community calendars and local event listings for Christmas happenings across New Westminster.
Rather than trying to remember where you saw that Facebook post or searching through dozens of websites every weekend, you can bookmark the Christmas Events List and come back whenever you’re wondering:
What’s happening in New West this Christmas?
The list is organized by date, making it easy to see what’s coming up and start planning ahead.
And because West-tin will keep adding events throughout the season, it’s worth checking back regularly.
Know About It Before It’s Over
One of the comments we hear again and again from New West Spotlight readers is:
“It’s so nice to find out about an event before it’s over.”
That’s exactly what this list is designed to do.
From now through the end of December, West-tin will keep hunting down Christmas events happening throughout New Westminster and adding them as they come in.
So whether you’re looking for something to do with the kids, a Christmas market to explore, a concert, a community celebration or just a little extra holiday spirit, start here.
🎄 Explore the Christmas Events List
And remember to check back — West-tin’s just getting started.
Get ready to add a little handmade magic to your holiday season! Families are invited to Deck the Halls, a festive ornament-making workshop happening Sunday, November 22, at River Market.
Presented as part of New West Craft, this cheerful, family-friendly event features Arts New West and Kinder Books and offers a wonderful chance to get creative, make your own holiday decorations and enjoy an afternoon of festive fun.
Drop in anytime between 12 and 3 p.m. to take part in the free ornament-making activities. And there’s more to enjoy while you create — live music and cookies will help make the afternoon extra merry!
Whether you're bringing the kids, spending time with loved ones or simply looking to get into the holiday spirit, this is a lovely opportunity to make something special and enjoy the season.
Best of all, admission is free, and no scheduled start time is required. Just drop by River Market, bring your creativity and get ready to deck the halls!
