Your Summer Story Starts Here
Surrey doesn't do summer quietly. Nearly every weekend from June to August, the city comes alive with free multicultural celebrations, family-friendly community festivals, a 40,000+ attendee outdoor EDM rave, and World Cup fan events bringing international energy to the parks.
The best part? Over 90% of Surrey’s summer festivals are free to attend.
The people who get the most of Surrey’s summer don’t start and end their day at the festival gates. They’re the ones who arrive early to wander neighbourhoods and lush parks, discover cultural flavours at mom-and-pop restaurants or pair their celebration with a nearby experience supporting small business owners.
Every weekend tells a new story. Discover your summer story below.
