Who we are & what we do.

Nanaimo Christmas Village is one of Nanaimo’s signature Christmas events taking place annually at the German Cultural Centre (71 Caledonia Ave). We aim to bring the charm of the old-world German Christmas traditions with a West Coast twist to Nanaimo and connect locals with the joys of the season. We are excited to be back for another year and put a smile on people’s faces with traditional German foods and a wide range of local artisan vendors.
