Fleurs de Villes NOËL returns to Downtown Vancouver with Festive Floral Art Displays – December 10 – 19, 2021

Presented by the National Bank of Canada, Fleurs de Villes NOËL will be returning to Vancouver December 10th – 19th. Now in its third year and hosted by the Downtown Vancouver Business Improvement Association and Robson Street Business Association, the spectacular floral art trail will decorate Vancouver’s downtown core with over 40 festive floral art displays, designed by Vancouver’s top local florists.

The floral trail will begin in the lobby at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver, where visitors can see one of Fleurs de Villes’ signature mannequins and pick up a map or scan a QR code on the adjacent signage. From there the trail will travel up Robson Street, loop back down Alberni Street, and finish at the Vancouver Art Gallery. Fleurs de Villes NOËL is free and visitors can safely walk the self-guided trail while adhering to COVID safety protocols.

Fleurs de Villes NOËL will feature floral couture mannequins, beautifully adorned entryways, colourful candy canes at National Bank Private Banking 1859 on Alberni, a huge floral snowy mountain at Bentall Centre, Santa’s sleigh bursting with holiday blooms at Park Place, as well as giant floral presents at Arthur Erickson Place and a large floral peace sign at the Vancouver Art Gallery, and more.
