Jamaican Festival 2008 in Surrey

Comments 5 by Rebecca Bollwitt

Just in time for the sun to return there will be many events heating up Metro Vancouver this weekend. If you’re not downtown for the Pride Parade on Sunday (kicking off at noon and running all along Robson, down Denman, and up Beach over to Sunset Beach) then there is another festival happening at Holland Park in Surrey that should be just as jubilant.

Celebrating 46 years old Jamaican independence, Surrey’s Jamaican Festival on Sunday August 3rd will feature volleyball, soccer, tug-o-war, and various other challenging events alongside reggae music, soca music, foods and games.

Sunday’s outdoor event is preceded by a banquet Saturday night at the Portugese Banquet Hall in Surrey (visit the JCCABC site for more details).

    @ Leah This post was published July 31st, 2008 @ 8:13 am. In 2008, that was the correct date for the festival.

    @Astro Yes it is!! You can read about the Jamaican Festival and more activities this weekend in my BC Day Long Weekend 2009 post.
