Vancouver – The Port of Vancouver is inviting the public to see the Christmas Ships, enjoy holiday treats and learn about the waterfront redevelopment at a Dec. 5 open house at the port’s Terminal 1.
The event is free and family-friendly and runs from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the WareHouse ’23 event area in the former Red Lion Hotel Vancouver at the Quay, 100 Columbia St., Vancouver.
Activities are planned between the start of the event and the Christmas Ships’ anticipated arrival at Terminal 1 around 8 p.m. The Vancouver Community Concert Band will play live music, and coffee, hot chocolate, cookies and a cash bar proved by WareHouse ’23 will be available.
Also, the port’s waterfront project staff will be present to provide information on the plans to redevelop Terminal 1, the 10-acre original site of the port and home of its first warehouse. In the future the location might include a public marketplace, hotel, commercial and retail space, and visitor amenities.
