From Greek and Bhangra dancers, to world-traveling acts and the local Surrey Talent Hour participants there was constant feet-tapping entertainment.

Voices of the Pacific Rim with the Vancouver Opera was a crowd-favourite as were The Fab Before from the Surrey Talent Search.

    Thanks for the photos! I made the trek to Surrey on Saturday and it was lots of fun and FREE!! I only could only hang out outside the folk fest that same morning and couldn’t afford a ticket this year, but was impressed that Fusion Fest presents a lot of great artists for no cost. Plus their food booths are fantastic!
