Since 2008 the Surrey Fusion Festival has packed Holland Park on a sizzling summer weekend with dozens of cultural pavilions, dancers, entertainers, live music, and delectable food options all with no cost of admission. Named “Best Festival” at the annual Special Event Magazine Gala Awards in Nashville in 2014, this free family event celebrates the very best of our region’s multicultural heritage and legacy and it returns Saturday, July 18th and Sunday, July 19th, 2015.
