A new star-studded Christmas tradition is budding outside the Vancouver Art Gallery. For the third consecutive year, Vancouver-based developer Amacon will host a Christmas-tree-lighting celebration with free live entertainment.

On Tuesday evening, special guests Diana Krall and Elvis Costello will lead about 1,000 celebrants in a countdown before flipping the switch and officially lighting the tree.

Let's hope that they switch it off as necessary to save electricity.

These are just lovely! Diana looks beautiful in red. It is good to see that look in EC's eyes- confidence.
Since he lost the weight he really has his mojo back.
Good for him!

A year later (!) Amacon finally posted "official" pictures from the event.

30 years ago on that date someone nastily switched off Mr Lennon.
