Looking for a festive parade to check out in Metro Vancouver this year? You’re in luck, because the 17th annual Surrey Santa Parade of Lights is making its way through the historic Cloverdale town centre, and it’s set to be the largest yet!

Every year, the festival brings a mix of decorated antique cars, trucks, and floats to the town centre in celebration of the holiday season, attracting visitors far and wide.

This year, the Cloverdale BIA has partnered with the BC Vintage Truck Museum along with local organizations and volunteers to bring holiday enthusiasts an exciting trek.
