FESTIVE SEASON EVENT!

QUINTESSENTIAL

On Saturday, November 23 and Sunday, November 24, we'll bring together five award-winning interior design teams with professional florists and home décor retailers all within one venue: UBC’s iconic Cecil Green Park House. It's a magical event, made even more special because all proceeds directly benefit the young people in Take a Hike programs! 

 

The cliff-top mansion is transformed to showcase uniquely festive décor ideas ranging from tablescapes to room vignettes for you to reimagine in your own home. Our guests will enjoy a self-guided tour with music and refreshments as they wander through the exquisitely decorated rooms of one of Vancouver’s most prestigious properties.

TERRACE OF TREES

After touring the beautifully decorated rooms at the Cecil Green mansion, wander outside to the covered Terrace of Trees overlooking the gorgeous gardens of Cecil Green Park. We hope you’ll take time to linger here and admire the sponsored trees all tastefully decorated by professional designers.  

SILENT AUCTION

On the terrace, you can also peruse the items in our carefully curated Silent Auction – we hope you’ll place some bids on anything that catches your eye. Not only will you get an early start on your holiday shopping, but you’ll be directly supporting the young people who need it most!  

BOUTIQUE BOULEVARD

New this year! Homes For The Holidays Boutique Boulevard! We are delighted to present a picturesque boulevard of evergreens. Each tree will be brimming with its own carefully chosen holiday ornament that promises to add a touch of magic to your own festive décor. Choose a take-home ornament to serve as a cherished reminder of the season.
