Five reasons to bring the kids to the 2019 Surrey Tree Lighting Festival!

The Tree Lighting

Join the Surrey Mayor and Council as they flip the switch at 6:30 pm to light the City’s spectacular 60-foot Christmas tree. Adding to the excitement CTV will broadcast it live on their evening newscast: CTV News at Six.

Light displays

The fest is bigger and brighter than ever with some brand new light features including a Light Tunnel, and Enchanted forest, a Candy Cane Dance Tent with an LED dance floor and interactive light displays.

Family friendly activities

Not only is there a tree lighting and a light tunnel, but there’s also a holiday market so you can get your shopping done on one place, as well as a Ferris Wheel and other amusement rides, inflatables, food trucks, exhibitors, games, live music, and festive crafts and activities for all ages.

Pro tip: Get there early so you can squeeze all of this in!

Free photos with Santa

Get your Santa visit and photos in early so you can relax in December. Visits and photos are free from 1 – 5 pm in the Atrium.

Pro tip: Wear something festive for your closeup with Santa!

A sensory friendly space

Festivals can be stimulating spaces. If you need a calm and quiet supportive environment for your child with autism spectrum disorder, anxiety or sensory-processing needs, head to this soothing oasis created in partnership with Canucks Autism Network. This space offers a wide range of elements to support relaxation, including comfortable seating, sensory toys, books, games and noise-cancelling headphones.
