Christmas Ideas and Events in Port Moody, BC, 2026
Port Moody’s Christmas season is small and local: a long running artisan market at PoMoArts, a pier lighting at Rocky Point Park, a craft fair at City Hall, and a visit from the CPKC Holiday Train in December. This is a shorter post than the Vancouver or Burnaby posts because fewer Port Moody events had confirmed 2026 details.

Shows and other events
CPKC Holiday Train in Port Moody
Sunday, December 20, 2026. The CPKC Holiday Train stops in Port Moody, behind the Port Moody Recreation Complex, 300 Ioco Road, as part of its Lower Mainland run, with Sam Roberts Band and Owen Riegling as performers. The stop is free, with donations of food or funds encouraged for local food banks. Check CPKC’s official schedule for the stop time before you go.
The later sections cover shows, Santa photos, and practical notes for getting around, so this is a good place to pause and plan the rest of an evening out.
Practical notes
Rocky Point Park is the pinch point for parking on Holiday Cheer night. PoMoArts is a 10 minute walk from Moody Centre SkyTrain Station, which makes the Blackberry market an easy transit trip. For the Holiday Train, arrive early, as stops run for about half an hour and draw a crowd.
