Surrey Tree Lighting Festival & Holiday Market returns to Surrey’s Civic Plaza to light its 60ft Christmas tree! The free event runs from 12pm to 7pm, with the tree lighting at 6:30pm.

Guests can explore a holiday market featuring local vendors and crafters, take free photos with Santa, and decorate cookies along with a variety of other family-friendly attractions.  In addition, you can get a bird’s eye view of the festival from the Ferris wheel, and treat the kids to amusement rides, inflatables and road hockey.

Attendees will also be treated to free children’s entertainers and live concerts. This year’s lineup includes Dawn Pemberton, award winning children’s performer and songwriter Jessie Farrell, and indie soul-pop band Lovecoast. Holiday choirs will perform on the Tree Riser Stage, Snowflake Stage and in the City Centre Library. The evening’s headline act will be performed by urban gospel and R&B singer Warren Dean Flandez on the Main Stage before and after the inaugural tree lighting.
