Love, Lit: Capilano Suspension Bridge Park Turns Up The Romance For Valentine’s Season (Win!)

January 15, 2026

Contests, Travel & Culture

Love is officially glowing in the rainforest. From January 30 to February 22, 2026, Capilano Suspension Bridge Park transforms into a twinkling wonderland with the return of Love Lights—a dreamy, after-dark experience made for date nights, bestie hangs, and anyone who loves a little sparkle.

Stroll the iconic 450-foot suspension bridge, Cliffwalk, and Treetops Adventure as millions of lights shimmer overhead, turning every step into a photo-worthy moment. New playful installations—think giant LOVE and XOXO signs, 3D hearts, colourful macaron frames, and whimsical surprises—make it impossible not to stop and snap.

And because romance works up an appetite, the Cliff House Restaurant is serving limited-time sips and bites designed to impress—hello Smoking Hot Martini and Cupid’s Raspberry & Hibiscus Dream Cloud. Sweet, spicy, and totally shareable.

Whether you’re planning a swoon-worthy Valentine’s date, a Galentine’s night out, or a solo stroll through a glowing forest, Love Lights proves that winter nights in Vancouver can still feel magical. —Noa Nichol

    I love doing something lovely with my husband of 35 years but my favourite thing about Valentine’s Day is doing something special for my parents.
    They love going on outings.
    One year I brought them to Bloedel Conservatory then for lunch at Seasons in the Park. It makes them so happy and truly enjoy their day that they look forward to it.

    I love making specials days just for them. 🩷🩷🩷

    It’s really cute, though. Feels like stories about romantic couples are the only thing that helps keep faith in love alive. If someone else got lucky, why can’t I? But yeah, I’m tired of it. I just want to find my person already and be done with it .

    Dating online? I won’t tell you anything new. Some people say it’s great, others it’s not for them. Either way, it’s just another way to find your person. The only thing I really ask is don’t use sketchy dating platforms. And even if you sign up on a popular one, use this site as an extra layer. For me, it’s one of the best verification resources right now. Staying informed about dating scam information is super important. It’s your safety. And I’m sure getting scammed is the last thing you’d want.
