Vancouver Commodore Ugly Christmas Sweater Party and Sweater Dash

The Ugly Christmas Sweater Party at the Commodore Hotel ballroom in Vancouver, BC is the party of all parties to celebrate the season in style. Ugly sweater style that is. The 2017 season marks the 16th annual ugly Christmas sweater party hosted by Chris Boyd and Jordan Birch.  There's music, contests, dancing and surprises throughout the evening for the attendees, who's creativity goes up a notch every year when putting together outfits for the charity event. Even getting to the event has become part of the fun, with attendees who take public transportation bringing their festive cheer onto the trains.

If you're looking for tickets to this year's party keep an eye on their website www.nowthatsugly.com to see when tickets go on sale. When they do, grab 'em quick, as it's always a sell out. 

The folks at nowthatsugly.com also sponsor Vancouvers Ugly Christmas Sweater Run each year. They even have a run in Toronto! The run (or DASH) is a Community Event featuring an un-timed 5km Run, Holiday Music,

Craft Beers and Free Family Entertainment. Vancouver's dash takes place at Rocky Point Park, Point Moody. Visit their website for information on their Party and RUNS around Canada, and to buy tickets for this year's Vancouver Ugly Christmas Sweater Dash. 

Party and Dash race proceeds (after expenses) benefit Children's Wish Foundation.
