Homes For The Holidays
On November 18-19, Vancouver’s quintessential holiday event will unite five award-winning interior designers with professional florists and home décor retailers all within one venue: UBC’s iconic Cecil Green Park House. The cliff-top mansion will be transformed to showcase uniquely festive décor ideas ranging from tablescapes to room vignettes for attendees to reimagine in their own homes.
Attendees will enjoy live music as they wander through the exquisitely decorated rooms of one of Vancouver’s most prestigious properties. Highlights also include our popular Silent Auction—a great place for inspired holiday shopping—as well as the Terrace of Trees, presented by Hunters Garden Centre, where sponsored evergreens are beautifully trimmed by talented designers. Best of all, 100% of the proceeds from the event will support vulnerable youth, benefiting our new charity partner, Take a Hike Foundation.
Take a Hike Foundation
Take a Hike empowers youth with intentional, continuous clinical counseling, outdoor experiential learning, and community. Our public school district partners provide high-quality education, and together, we empower youth with the skills and resilience they need to graduate high school, build healthy relationships, and achieve success - however, they define it.
