Noël Surrey with the Magic of Bright Nights is returning for another very merry year to the Cloverdale Fairgrounds! From November 27 to December 29, this beloved holiday tradition is inviting friends and families to gather at Surrey’s largest Christmas festival to not only celebrate the festive season, but to also raise vital funds for burn survivors across the province.
Alongside Bright Nights’ signature light displays, guests can expect a whole range of exciting activities such as live entertainment, delicious food and drinks, holiday shopping, and so much more.
Noël Surrey and the Magic of Bright Nights
Bright Nights is Back
Just like last year, Bright Nights will be joining Noël Surrey to bring a classic Metro Vancouver holiday tradition to the Cloverdale Fairgrounds.
Initially hosted at Stanley Park, Bright Nights was an annual holiday event that began all the way back in the 1980s. It sadly could not continue at that venue, but Noël Surrey brought it back in 2025 for its inaugural year at the festival. This year, it’s returned, and it will be here for many years now that Noël Surrey and the Burn Fund have entered a multi-year partnership!
At Noël Surrey, guests will be able to experience the Bright Nights Light Walk, a firefighter-built display that supports the BC Professional Fire Fighters’ Burn Fund as the organization’s single largest annual fundraiser. You’ll also be able to meet professional fire fighters every night, who will be there to welcome families, hand out candy canes, and accept donations for the Burn Fund.
A portion of the proceeds from Noel Surrey will go to benefit the Burn Fund, so they may help survivors and their families receive the support they need during the holiday season.
Light Displays & Beyond
On top of Bright Nights, there’s even more light displays to see at Noël Surrey.
All over the venue, there will be immersive displays illuminating pathways, and sparkling tunnels that you can walk through. Interactive installations are available across indoor and outdoor spaces, giving everyone a chance to reach out to enjoy the displays directly.
Guests can wander through a vast array of glittering lights that offer the perfect chance for photo-ops and making memories.
Massive Indoor Venue
No visit to Noel Surrey is complete until you visit the Noël Village. This massive indoor village spans over 30,000-sq.-ft. at the Cloverdale Agriplex, offering a cozy space for you to gather with your family and friends. There, you can find a variety of holiday activities, shopping, food, and so much more.
For the kids, they’ll get the chance to meet Sprinkle the Elf (on select days), Winter faeries, and the Snow Sisters. And if they don’t mind a little mischief, the Green Grouch is there, too. They can also take part in face painting, balloon twisting, and Rudolf’s Reindeer Ranch, and an illuminated playground.
When you get hungry, Noel Village has got you covered. Whether you’re craving a sweet treat or something warm and comforting, you’ll definitely be able to find it there at the Winter Spice Kitchen and local food trucks. Not only that, but the festival is fully-licensed, which means you can get alcoholic drinks! Just head to the Noel Village bar to grab your drink.
