Event Description
You’re warmly invited to visit Merridale this holiday season to take an enchanting walk through a dazzling Christmas display that will light up your spirits and spread joy across the valley.
Our annual Christmas Light Up is FREE and open for all to enjoy. The entire courtyard will transform into a winter wonderland while twinkling lights stretch into the orchard. This is where magical memories are made!
On November 15th, we’ll kick things off with our tree-lighting ceremony to usher in the festive season. This year a 30ft Christmas tree will take centre stage, decorated top to bottom with twinkling lights and handmade ornaments.
Stroll through the courtyard with a cozy mug of mulled cider before you stop for a bite at the Farmhouse Eatery, enjoy a tasting, pick up a few Christmas gifts or join us at one of our holiday events.
Our annual Christmas Light Up is a one-of-a-kind experience designed to bring the Cowichan Valley community together. Bring your camera and your closest friends and family. We can’t guarantee snow but we promise you’ll feel like you’ve just landed at the North Pole when you see the magical scene we have in store for you!
The display will be up and open for anyone to experience free of charge throughout the holiday season. Visit us after dusk for a dazzling light display, or stop by earlier in the day to take in all the details in the incredible display.
