Description
Christmas in the Square is the City of Port Coquitlam's official tree lighting and the start of its Winter in the City season. Leigh Square, next to the Port Coquitlam Community Centre, fills with lights and inflatables for an early-evening celebration with photos with Santa, kids' crafts, hot chocolate and live entertainment, and the city's official Christmas tree is switched on mid-way through the evening. It is free, compact and easy to do with young children, and downtown PoCo's shops and restaurants are steps away for dinner afterwards. Arrive early for the lighting, dress for the rain and bring a flashlight for little ones.
