Description

Santa at the Cannery is a one-day holiday celebration at the Gulf of Georgia Cannery National Historic Site in Steveston. Admission to the museum is free for the day, and the main draw is photos with Santa and Mrs. Claus in the Boiler House Theatre, where families can bring their own phone or camera rather than paying for professional photos. The day typically also includes live music, festive activities and a chance to vote in the Steveston Festival of Trees displayed inside the cannery. Photo spots are limited and handed out by ticket, so plan ahead. In 2026 the event is on Sunday, November 29, with photos with Santa from 2 to 4pm and tickets released on Eventbrite starting November 15. The cannery building is unheated and colder than outside, so dress warmly, and leave food and drinks for the village afterward.
