Get ready for a day of music, culture and fun at the City of Surrey’s Canada Day Celebration! The City of Surrey is situated on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Salish Peoples, including the q̓ic̓əy̓ (Katzie), q̓ʷɑ:n̓ƛ̓ən̓ (Kwantlen), and Semiahma (Semiahmoo) land-based Nations, and is committed to ensuring there is a diverse lineup of activities and performances for everyone to enjoy. Presented by Prospera Credit Union, Surrey Canada Day is back at the Bill Reid Millennium Amphitheatre on Saturday, July 1 from 10 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. This free event promises a day filled with excitement for the whole family. This is Western Canada’s largest July 1st event, and there is so much to see and do!
Indigenous Village: The Siam Stage will host Indigenous cultural sharing, providing a space to deepen awareness and understanding of the land and the rich history of Canada. The Siam Stage will also host contemporary Indigenous music and dance. A 30-foot Teepee in the Indigenous Village is the perfect place to rest and reflect throughout the day. An Indigenous Market will be on site for visitors to purchase authentic products from Indigenous artisans and small businesses.
Kids Zone: There is plenty to see and do for even the smallest visitors to Surrey’s Canada Day events! The Kid’s Stage will feature family-friendly programming. Don’t miss the Kid’s Craft Zone, presented by the Downtown Surrey BIA, and Toddler Town, a place for little ones to run around and have fun!
Entertainment: The City of Surrey has the best offering of live entertainment at its events, and Surrey Canada Day is no exception! The main stage is packed with performances throughout the day, including Broken Social Scene, Crown Lands, Neon Dreams, Julio Avila Cuban Band, Higher Ground Dance Company, and more! Check out the list of performers here.
Amusement Rides: Amp up the fun on Canada Day with Amusement Rides from Shooting Star Amusements. Little ones can purchase tickets for smaller rides and the bouncy castles, while the brave children, youth, and adults in your group can ride the Zipper, the Spider, Zero Gravity, and other slightly terrifying (and fun!) rides.
Food & Drink: What’s a festival without incredible food and drink options? Canada Day in Surrey is offering a vast array of food trucks including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. If your party is over 19+, there will also be a Beer Garden on site.
Fireworks: The best part of any Canada Day celebration is the fireworks. Surrey Canada Day’s fireworks display will light up the sky at 10:15pm. 
Gavin Toy, President and CEO of Prospera Credit Union remarks that “This event holds great significance in bringing our community together to honor our diverse heritage. We invite everyone in Surrey and the surrounding area to join us at this extraordinary celebration.” So mark your calendars, gather your loved ones, and join Mayor Brenda Locke and the rest of Surrey City Council in the largest Canada Day event in Western Canada.
