The party at Surrey Civic Plaza and University Drive will also feature a rock-climbing wall, plant-based food trucks, and a marketplace with local vendors offering eco-friendly products.

Surrey Parks’ popular plant sale will also return, and you can bring home a new green friend for just $3 to $6. There will even be a clothing swap where attendees can shop for free, lightly used clothing items.
