Description
Broadway Church's Singing Christmas Tree is a long-running East Vancouver tradition in which a large choir stands inside a towering, lit tree-shaped frame and performs a full Christmas production. The 2026 show is titled The Crown and the King and combines carols, contemporary songs, drama and staging that tells the Christmas story. Admission is free, but you need a reserved ticket, and partway through the show there is an optional offering for CityReach Care Society, a local charity. There are ten performances over two weekends in early December, with Friday evening shows and two shows each Saturday and Sunday. Each runs about 90 minutes, which works for most families. Tickets are issued in batches on Eventbrite, and the organizer reports that every 2026 performance is already sold out after the November releases, so check the official site for cancellations or waitlist news rather than resale listings. Doors usually open well before showtime and seating is general, so arrive early. The church is on East Broadway near Renfrew SkyTrain station.
