Timeline
16:26
Pick up a gelato from Brazza. With one of the largest selections on the North Shore, it is the perfect portable treat for an evening walk. The shop is open until 23:00 on weekdays and weekends.
16:56
Walk seven minutes south to Victoria Park. Find the Ancient Sun sculpture. It is a Coast Salish sun known as the keeper of knowledge, rising gently over the Municipal Hall.
17:41
Watch the sun set toward the WSW. The golden light starting at 16:48 will illuminate the sculpture just before the sun dips below the horizon at 17:41.
18:01
Stay in Victoria Park to enjoy the twilight. The park features walking paths, gardens, and several other pieces of public art. It is a lovely midtown spot to linger after the sun has gone.
Local tip
The sun sets toward the WSW on this date. Position yourself to face that direction for the best view of the Ancient Sun catching the last light.
