The Surrey Fusion Festival is celebrating its 11th anniversary this weekend with a massive two-day event focused on music, culture, and most importantly, food.
Admission to Western Canada’s largest multicultural event at Holland Park (located across from the King George SkyTrain Station) is FREE for all on both Saturday, July 21 and Sunday, July 22 – which is great, because you need to save your coins for the plethora of pavillions’ worth of eats from all over the world that will be at this event.
