Three Easy Steps to a Spectacular Tree1. Use only CSA approved L.E.D. lights.

Thanks to a small revolution in electronics, we can keep Christmas bright without wasting power. The trees of the Dundarave Festival of Lights are all about sustainability, fixing carbon as they grow less than 50 km from Dundarave. To keep our Festival green, make a point of using only L.E.D. lights in as many colours as you like. All lights must be outdoor grade and approved by the CSA. (Our friends at the West Vancouver Fire Department, with our support and encouragement as always, will keep a special eye out for lights that don't show the CSA seal of approval.)
2. Be in your element.

Dundarave Beach and Dundarave Village are amazing locations for an open air Christmas tree festival. The changing light, the unpredictable weather and the bracing Pacific air combine to make the Festival an exhilarating part of the holiday season. Dress your tree for the weather. Make sure to use water proof or weather resistant decorations, and wire them securely to your tree.
3. Be fabulous.
Thousands of people will see your tree, by themselves or with their family and friends, over the five weeks of the Festival. Use this moment to let your personality shine. Bring your passion for life to life in the tree. From shrinkydink children's drawings to the crafty genius of the Dragon Busters, decorating your tree should be fun and never stress your Christmas piggy bank.
