  • More Than 80,000 Attend 19th Annual Surrey Fusion Festival

More than 80,000 people gathered at Holland Park this weekend for the 19th annual Surrey Fusion Festival, celebrating food, music, culture and traditions from around the world.

Presented by Coast Capital, the two-day festival featured more than 50 cultural pavilions and a diverse lineup of local, national and international performers. This year’s theme, “One World, One Game,” celebrated soccer’s ability to bring people and communities together ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2026.

The festival’s headline performances included sets by iconic Canadian rock band 54•40 and Punjabi singer Kulwinder Billa, who entertained crowds throughout the weekend.

“‘One World, One Game’ captured what Surrey Fusion Festival is all about — bringing people together through shared experiences and a love of community,” Surrey Mayor Brenda Locke said, thanking Coast Capital, City staff, volunteers, cultural groups and performers for contributing to the festival’s success.

The award-winning event, recognized in May as the Best Event for a City or Municipality at the Canadian Special Event Awards, continues to be the largest free multicultural festival in Western Canada.

Festival attendees can share feedback through an online survey for a chance to win a $200 gift card to Guildford Town Centre.
