The organizers of Surrey Night Market are not letting last year’s devastating storm that destroyed the market, dampen their spirits and are instead preparing themselves for a yet another exciting season.
“The overwhelming support and good wishes offered by the community after last year’s monstrous storm has doubled our resolve to return for a third season starting June 3, 2016 to August 14, 2016,” said Satbir Cheema, Director, Surrey Night Market, “we are humbled by the support that the community showed us last year and as a gesture of goodwill we would like to give a platform to non-profits to help them raise funds for their causes.”
Apart from numerous food and merchandise booths; rides and games for children; door prizes for attendees and performances by magicians, local bands, singers and dancers, Surrey Night Market 2016 will have a strong community and social perspective with a few tents set aside for non-profit organizations and charities. These organizations will also be given an opportunity to set up a beer garden to raise funds for their specific causes if they so wish.
During the third season, the following patrons will get free entry into the night market.
- Families of all Canadian Forces personnel and Veterans
- Children less than 48" in height when accompanied by their families
- Residents of long-term care and assisted living facilities when coming as a group
- Wheelchair borne persons and their attendants
- Seniors over 65 years with proper ID
- In addition, anyone bringing a non-perishable food item or a new toy will be allowed free access and all collected items will be donated to the local food banks or charities.
The family friendly multicultural market will run on Fridays and Saturdays from 6pm to 11pm and on Sundays from 5pm to 10pm at the Cloverdale Exhibition Grounds, 17726 - 62 Avenue, Surrey. Parking will be free.
The Surrey Night Market offers an outstanding business opportunity to small businesses to set up food stalls and merchandize booths at the event. For more information, visit surreynightmarket.com or contact them at info@surreynightmarket.com or 604-805-3440.
