Merry and Bright at Martini Town

My friend Donna asked if I wanted to go to Merry and Bright at Martini Town.  She bought tickets early and we got a seniors discount.  They do not sell tickets at the gate.  You must buy them online.  Prices did increase so if you want to go next year, get your tickets early.  Yesterday it was sold out.  They give you a 30 minute window to arrive and you can stay as long as you want.

It's located in Langley Township on 272 Street, almost in Aldergrove.  It was a lovely drive and thankfully didn't rain when we were there, but it rained earlier.

Martini Town is an outdoor movie studio.  They film Hallmark Christmas movies, Schmigadoon (Apple TV), Kung Fu (The CW), and Snake Eyes and other shows.  Merry and Bright operates from November 21 - December 31 and proceeds go to the Langley Food Bank.

Crafts in the white tent, lots of lovely items.  Santa was over to the left and there was a long line to see him.

 I didn't know these people but wanted a picture of the Grinch!

Lots of little girls lined up for pictures with Elsa.

Great entertainment by these two musicians.

Warming tent.  A great place to go   if it rains.

I should have taken more pictures when it got dark.  Hundreds of lights.

Sticky's Candy Store.  We had one in Ocean Park but it's not there any more but there locations in our town.

Brownstones and a Ristorante across the street. 
 They had a snow machine so it was snowing!  You can see it on the sidewalk!

Santa came to the gazebo and the kids were excited!

The gals in red coats were from the CBC and selling toques for charity!  It was a wonderful walk with lots of carols and even snow.  We got there early and it got very busy as we were leaving.  They sold cookies, lots of warm drinks and had a few food trucks if you were hungry.  We started our day off with lunch at Morgan Creek Golf Course.  It was delicious.  A wonderful start to the Christmas season.
