Thousands of residents and visitors gathered at Francis Park on Saturday, September 6, for the 23rd Annual Fleetwood Festival, one of Surrey’s largest and most beloved community events. This year’s festival brought together families, seniors, children, and local leaders for a vibrant day of celebration, culture, and community spirit.

The festival, hosted by the Fleetwood Community Centre in partnership with the Fleetwood Business Improvement Association, featured a wide range of free activities and entertainment, including live music, cultural performances, food trucks, community booths, and family-friendly attractions such as face painting, henna, bouncy castles, and mini golf.
