Two of the Friday evening events are free, the Saturday afternoon is free with registration, and two evening shows this weekend are ticketed. The weekend also includes a holiday market that spans both days. ## Friday, November 13 ### Glen Pine Winter Market The City of Coquitlam runs the Glen Pine Winter Market at Glen Pine Pavilion, 1200 Glen Pine Court, on Friday November 13 from 4:00 pm to 9:00 pm, and again on Saturday November 14 from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. Admission is free both days. No registration is needed. The market features local artisans selling handmade gifts, festive decor, and original crafts. The City describes it as a holiday shopping event. The City asks visitors to bring reusable shopping bags. Paid street parking is available near the pavilion. Glen Pine Pavilion is close to both Lafarge Lake-Douglas and Coquitlam Central SkyTrain stations on the Evergreen Extension (Millennium Line), so the market is reachable without a car.
