Spring has sprung and we’re celebrating with the Canadian premiere of Fleurs de Villes Downton Abbey, presented by Oakridge Park – a spectacular fresh floral celebration inspired by the famed period drama, created by Vancouver’s talented floral artists.

Join us at VanDusen Botanical Garden and Oakridge Park Gallery from May 23 – June 1 and step into the world of Downton Abbey. Be transported to early 20th-century England, where the aristocratic Crawley family and their devoted staff navigate a rapidly changing era. 

Presented by Oakridge Park, this immersive experience will feature a curated collection of one-of-a-kind fresh floral mannequins inspired by the series’ unforgettable characters and iconic period fashion. From Lady Mary’s sophisticated beaded gowns and statement hats, to the impeccably tailored uniforms of the household staff, each floral masterpiece will bring Downton Abbey’s timeless style and compelling narratives to life.

There is a world of fashion waiting to be worn. In celebration of Lunar New Year, Oakridge Park hosted an exclusive Fashion Show presented by Holt Renfrew. Inspired by the Year of the Snake, the curvy runway seamlessly wrapped around Fairmont Pacific Rim’s Lobby Lounge symbolizing the continuous flow of life, prosperity and togetherness.

Presented by our friends at Holt Renfrew and hosted by the illustrious Fred Lee and Fairchild TV’s Suiki Zhang, the fashion show featured a panoply of en vogue designs, breathtaking contortionists defying gravity, accompanied with live music by Amanda Wood. From structured suits dressed in deep rich hues to effortlessly ethereal Euro summer fits, the runway promised a closet to covet for all seasons in the Year of the Snake. To commemorate an unforgettable evening, guests received curated Oakridge Park gift bags from our friends at Sisley Paris, Diptyque and La Biosthétique Paris.

As a renowned leader in luxury retail, Holt Renfrew shares Oakridge Park’s vision of the deeper cultural and creative narratives behind fashion. Together, we created an experience that seamlessly blended high fashion with artistry, community and a collaborative spirit, setting the tone for a monumental year ahead.

Construction at Oakridge Park is progressing well as we approach the end of Summer. Suite finishing work at Oakridge x Castiglia will commence in the Fall with Oakridge x Lissoni, Oakridge x Clemande, and Oakridge x Westbank towers following shortly after.

Earlier this summer, Oakridge Park launched Oakridge Summer Social, a dynamic summer event series designed for the community with a focus on wellness, nature and cultural coexistence. This year, we kicked off the series of events at Oakridge Park x Pac Rim Patio where the patio was transformed into an immersive garden featuring bespoke floral structures and lush greenery.

The event series began with Wimbledon Viewing Parties where guests donned their all-white outfits, watched match recaps and replays, and enjoyed specialty menu items such as Pimm’s Cup and Strawberries and Cream. Throughout the month of July, Oakridge Summer Social brought cinematic joy with Cinema in the Park as movie buffs, friends and families enjoyed classic summer films under the Vancouver stars. We winded the end of summer with our Oakridge Summer Portraits, where friends and families were invited to bring their summer selves to capture their favourite sun-soaked memories in style.

In our commitment to fostering and supporting the community through unforgettable experiences, 100% of ticket sales benefitted the BC Children’s Hospital Foundation.

We are looking forward to bringing back summer joy next year with Oakridge Summer Social.
