Bright Nights in Stanley Park

The Finer Details has been involved with Bright Nights in Stanley Park since 2008.  We are pleased to assist with project management of this month long event and keep tasks on time & budget as well as assist the steering committee (BC Professional Fire Fighter's Burn Fund & The Vancouver Park Board) with coming up with fresh ideas.

These 2 partners have been working together since the beginning 14 years ago.  The Professional Fire Fighters donate their time to set up the plaza for the entire month of November.  The Park Board Train Staff along with Mortal Coil Performance Society make sure the train route sparkles!  It is a fantastic partnership.

Some innovative ideas that we contributed to this year:

• the North Pole - a new location where Santa Claus can visit with the kids
• Parade of Trees - taking advantage of the old Farmyard to incorporate live decorated trees while attendees wait to see Santa
• Children's Activities & Crafts - each year The Finer Details provides an experience for kids to keep them busy while they wait for their train...this year we have a Reindeer craft & Letters to Santa

Our staff is onsite each night managing a team of up to 25 local high school students to assist with Photos with Santa, Children's crafts and activities as well as costumed characters.  This is a hard working group and we thank all of the over 200 volunteers this 2011/2012 season!
