SURREY – The ever-green Malkit Singh, the original Golden Star, entertained a large crowd at the annual free Surrey Fusion Festival last Saturday.

Attendees also enjoyed a weekend of food, music and culture at the free, award-winning, multicultural festival. 

Headliners included Sudan Archives and Malkit Singh as well as MAUVEY, Jade LeMac and DJ Goddess. This year’s theme, “Landmarks of the World,” was shared with the community through engaging and educational displays at cultural pavilions representing cultures from Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America and South America.

“Surrey Fusion Festival embodies the very essence of our city's spirit: diversity, inclusivity, and community,” said Mayor Brenda Locke. “I would like to thank our longtime presenting sponsor Coast Capital and the tireless team of organizers, performers and volunteers who make it all possible. Surrey Fusion Festival serves as a beacon of connection and belonging, reminding us that our differences are what make our city stronger and more vibrant.”

Additional activities included dance performances and lessons on the Connect Stage, a Ferris wheel and inflatables in the Family Fun Zone, and a licensed area.

Attendees are invited to provide their feedback on the event and help shape future events via an online survey for a chance to win a $300 gift card to Guildford Town Centre at surreyfusionfestival.ca.
