WESTERN Canada\u2019s largest Canada Day celebration will return to the Bill Reid Millennium Amphitheatre in Cloverdale on Wednesday, July 1.<\/p>\n

Presented by Prospera Credit Union, Surrey Canada Day will be headlined by Josh Ross, the first male Canadian country artist in nearly 30 years to top the Billboard Country Airplay chart.<\/p>\n

\u201cSurrey Canada Day is one of our city\u2019s signature events, bringing people together to celebrate what makes us Canadian,\u201d Surrey Mayor Brenda Locke said on Tuesday. \u201cAs one of the country\u2019s most diverse communities, Surrey shows how our differences shape who we are. We\u2019re grateful for the support of the Government of Canada and the Province of British Columbia through the Ministry of Tourism, Arts, Culture and Sport, helping make this free, family-friendly event possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ross scored his first No. 1 hit on U.S. country radio in 2025 with \u201cSingle Again,\u201d becoming the first male Canadian country artist in nearly 30 years to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart. He recently released his debut album, Later Tonight, which features his current single \u201cHate How You Look,\u201d and has opened for global superstars including Luke Bryan, Jelly Roll and Nickelback.<\/p>\n

Joining the lineup are Lee Aaron, a rock icon with a decades\u2011long career and lasting influence on the national music scene, and Tyler Shaw, a multi\u2011platinum singer\u2011songwriter known for his chart\u2011topping singles and dynamic stage presence. Additional performances will include Reckless, billed as \u201cCanada\u2019s tribute to Bryan Adams,\u201d Vancouver-based rock band Brass Camel, and Berk Joidon, a folk and roots artist whose songwriting reflects classic country and blues influences and his M\u00e9tis heritage.<\/p>\n

\u201cSurrey Canada Day is one of our favourite events of the year and we\u2019re thrilled for Prospera to be back as Presenting Sponsor,\u201d said Cary Ransome, Chief Member Experience Officer at Coast Capital Savings Federal Credit Union, which operates as a family of trusted brands, including Prospera, Coast Capital and Sunshine Coast Financial. \u201cWe have deep roots in Surrey and look forward to celebrating our wonderful community and country at this outstanding event. We invite everyone in Surrey and the surrounding area to join us!\u201d<\/p>\n
