Experience Surrey’s vibrant Culture Days celebration this fall

Darpan News Desk , 16 Sep, 2025 10:30 AM

This month, the City of Surrey is thrilled to present a variety of free events and programs in celebration of Culture Days, a national annual festival honouring arts and culture. Residents are invited to participate in engaging and interactive presentations and activities hosted by Community Arts, Public Art, Historic Stewart Farm, Museum of Surrey, and Surrey Archives.

"Surrey is proud to be one of Canada’s most diverse cities, where people of all backgrounds can come together to live, learn, work and belong," Mayor Brenda Locke said. "I invite all of our residents to discover and enjoy the free arts, culture, and heritage offerings during this year’s Culture Days.

These events promote creativity, inclusivity, and community spirit, supporting the City’s vision of a vibrant and thriving Surrey."

Participating in Culture Days reflects the City of Surrey’s commitment to offering programs and events that connect the community through arts and culture. In 2024, Surrey was one of the top 10 participating communities in Canada. From the Arts Day at Clayton Community Centre and the Harvest Fair at Historic Stewart Farm, to Indigenous programs at Totest Aleng: Indigenous Learning House, there's something for everyone to enjoy.

About Culture Days 

The Culture Days national organization works with provincial partners and a wide network of event organizers, from grassroots community volunteers to major institutions. Each year at the end of September, millions of people attend thousands of arts and culture events across Canada.

Culture Days programs invite the public to get hands-on and behind-the-scenes to highlight the importance of arts and culture in our communities. Culture Days serves as a year-round catalyst that connects individuals and creators to build measurable support for the entire sector and amplify its contributions. They seek to eliminate barriers to access and participation, and stimulate understanding, appreciation and exploration of arts and culture—so that every person in the country has a deeper connection with themselves, their communities, and Canada.

Culture Days is happening in Surrey from Sept. 19 until Oct. 12.
