One of the country’s largest Canada Day celebrations is returning to Metro Vancouver this summer, and it promises to be a day full of great live entertainment.
The City of Surrey’s annual Canada Day celebration will take place at the Bill Reid Millennium Amphitheatre in Cloverdale on Monday, July 1.
The free, all-ages event features a huge concert lineup, food trucks, and fireworks. Participants will also have the opportunity to learn about the land they live on and the true history of Canada.
“I’m excited to invite all of our residents to join us for the largest Canada Day celebration in Western Canada,” said Surrey Mayor Brenda Locke. “Whether it’s the great food, amusement rides, unforgettable fireworks, or enjoying headliners like the Sheepdogs or Sass Jordan, this year’s festivities promise to be bigger and better than ever.
“I hope to see you all there at the fun and festivities as we mark the birthday of our great nation.”

Surrey is situated on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the q̓icə̓ y̓ (Katzie), q̓wɑ:n̓ƛən̓ (Kwantlen), and Semiahma (Semiahmoo) land-based nations.
