What's Happening in Surrey in November
With the arrival of November, we start to think about making the shift from fall to winter. We start craving cosy nights by the fire, brisk winter walks and the warmth of toques and mitts! We begin the month remembering the men and women whose sacrifices afforded us the freedoms we enjoy today, and after the 11th, the run-up to the holidays begins with the fun and frivolity of markets and craft fairs, family-friendly activities, concerts and events.
Events
Bear Creek Park Lights - November 3 – 17
Bear Creek Park, 13750 88 Avenue
For the past 10 years, Bear Creek Park Lights has been a favourite of locals and visitors alike. Designed to bring light during a time of year when daylight is in short supply, this year’s display has been reimagined to bring nature to the forefront. For 2 weeks beginning November 3, Bear Creek Park, one of the City’s most vibrant parks and show gardens, will be transformed into a free, illuminated nature trail experience that highlights the park’s natural landscape. Pre-book your free tickets.
Norm Foster’s Hilda’s Yard - November 16-25
14853 60 Avenue
Enjoy an evening of live theatre presented by Pivot Theatre. Hilda’s Yard is a full-length comedy by Norm Foster. It’s an exciting summer day for Hilda and Sam Fluck, newly on their own since their thirtysomething children Gary and Janey have moved out. Hilda and Sam are finally ready to relax and reap the rewards of a well-earned and greatly appreciated empty nest. What could go wrong? Well, everything of course! Just when you thought it was safe to hang some laundry on the line, Gary and Janey fall over the fence into the backyard, looking for help out of sticky situations.
OKAN - November 17
Main Stage at Surrey Arts Centre, 13750 88 Avenue
If you’re looking for a joyful and energetic show, OKAN is the perfect choice. This Grammy and Latin-Grammy nominated duo, consisting of violinist and vocalist Elizabeth Rodriguez and percussionist and vocalist Magdelys Savigne, along with their three-piece band, deliver a high-energy Afro-Cuban jazz performance filled with stories and dance that will leave a lasting impression. It’s a night of infectious, uplifting energy that you won’t want to miss.
