Surrey Christmas FAQ
The Noel Holiday Light Festival and the Surrey Tree Lighting Festival are two of the largest annual events, drawing families for lights, markets, and entertainment.
Surrey’s Bright Nights tradition, now part of the Noel Festival, began as a community display and continues to support burn survivors, making it a meaningful local tradition.
Cloverdale and Bear Creek Park are popular for their organized displays, while many residential neighborhoods also feature festive light trails and drive-through options.
Christmas markets are held at Surrey Civic Plaza and the Cloverdale Fairgrounds, and local makers often participate in neighborhood markets and holiday events.
Free activities include visiting Bear Creek Lights, exploring neighborhood displays, and attending the Surrey Civic Plaza Holiday Market and Tree Lighting Festival.
Families enjoy the Noel Holiday Light Festival, Bear Creek Lights, Santa visits, crafts, and the Holiday Market at Surrey Civic Plaza, all offering kid-friendly fun.
