THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR
Activities & Entertainment for All Ages
Step into the magic of Noel Surrey, where millions of lights shine bright at the Cloverdale Fairgrounds this winter. Wander through the Bright Nights light walk, snap photos with Santa and holiday characters in the Noel Village, shop the Christmas Market, and enjoy free rides. A fully licensed festival with two bars, cozy dining huts, food trucks, and fire pits make it the ultimate holiday outing. Kids 6 and under are free, parking is included, and every ticket purchased helps support the BC Professional Fire Fighters’ Burn Fund.

Previously held in Calgary (2019 & 2020) and Milwaukee (2021), the Noel Festival made its Surrey debut in 2024. We’re excited to return in 2025 — join us for another unforgettable celebration of light, warmth, and holiday spirit!

Bright Nights, while known for being in Stanley Park and including the minature railway, actually started out in Surrey.

The tradition began in the mid-1980s when Surrey residents Bob Wingfield and Marg Barrett created an elaborate Christmas light display at their Newton home with support from Surrey firefighters. The display drew thousands of visitors annually while raising funds for burn survivors at Vancouver General Hospital. In 1997, Bob and Marg donated their light collection to the BC Professional Fire Fighters’ Burn Fund, creating Bright Nights, which went on to operate in Vancouver’s Stanley Park for more than 25 years.

At Noel Surrey, attendees can explore the Bright Nights display featuring nearly three million lights along an accessible path around the pond at the Bill Reid Millennium Amphitheatre. The festival also includes the Noel Village, a more than 30,000-square-foot indoor venue featuring a free children’s area including photos with Santa, the green and grumpy one, and holiday characters, as well as live music.

The Noel Village also features a dining hub and an expanded Christmas market. In addition, guests can enjoy complimentary rides on the 50-ft Ferris wheel and bumper cars on select dates, as well as food and beverages from a variety of local food trucks. Tickets for children 6 and under are free, have no time restrictions, and are inclusive of all entertainment, attractions and parking. Noel Surrey also works with local school districts to provide tickets to low-income families.
