Huge FREE Junos music festival is coming to Surrey this week
The Junos are returning to Vancouver in just a few weeks for the first time since 2018, and they’re throwing some huge parties across the province to celebrate.
The 54th Annual Juno Awards will take place on Sunday, March 30 at Rogers Arena, presented by the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS). Michael Buble will be taking over the hosting duties this year.
Canada’s largest celebration of music includes Let’s Hear It BC, which will bring the spirit of the Junos to six BC cities, including Surrey on Saturday, March 15.
The best part? The huge music festival is completely free.

“British Columbia is a hotbed for emerging talent, and we wanted to curate a free program that would not only entertain local audiences but also showcase the diversity of our communities to music fans across the province,” said Nate Sabine, Vancouver Juno Host Committee co-chair, in a release.
“We are thrilled to be taking the spirit of the Junos across the entire province. These electrifying performances will take place in cities across British Columbia, building momentum towards the 2025 Juno Awards.”
