About Surrey Tree Lighting Festival & Holiday Market

Surrey Tree Lighting Festival is the City of Surrey’s premier holiday event. Every year, the City invites residents to watch Mayor and Council “flip the switch” to light the City’s 60ft Christmas Tree. Entering its 13th year in 2023, Surrey Tree Lighting Festival has provided over a decade of holiday memories and traditions to attendees.

Event activities include Surrey’s 60ft Christmas Tree, food trucks, light displays, a Holiday Market, and four stages featuring music, dance and children’s entertainment.

The festival runs from 12-8pm on Saturday, November 25 and Sunday, November 26, 2023 at Surrey Civic Plaza.
