The Honda Celebration of Lights, beloved outdoor music festivals, and interactive art shows are just some of the events people can look forward to in the coming year, with support from B.C.’s Tourism Events Program. The recurring program is now currently accepting funding applications for eligible large-scale events.

While historically an annual program, it was paused in spring 2020 due to pandemic restrictions and guidelines limiting gatherings.
