Visit a dazzling outdoor light display at Surrey's Bear Creek Park this week

A dazzling light display known as the Garden Light Festival will light up Surrey’s Bear Creek Park this week.

Taking place on Wednesday and Thursday (November 8 and 9), the event will see trees and trails in the popular park lit up with a vast array of ever-changing colours.

There will be onsite activities and events to enjoy as well, including lantern making, face painting, a photo booth, and – for those hungry visitors – food trucks will be on site as well.

Those who attend are encouraged to dress for the weather and bring a flashlight.

There will also be pre-festival activities at the Surrey Art Gallery as well.

Visitors can also make a giant swordfern and floating seedball lanterns with mentoring artist Tamara Unroe from 4 to 5 pm on both of nights. After the workshops, people can try them out at the festival.

The event – one of many across the region that’s helping kick things into holiday mode – is free for the whole family and everyone is encouraged to attend.
