For the past few years, the Downtown Surrey Business Improvement Association (DSBIA) has been implementing different placemaking activities throughout the area. This year, we are happy to announce the beginning of #WhalleyWednesdays.

#WhalleyWednesdays are community events happening every Wednesday in July at the Grosvenor Road School Site, near King George Blvd and 108th Ave along Grosvenor Road.

These events intend to engage and strengthen the community. Each week brings a different theme:

July 4: Survey Session (2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.)
Asking people what activities they’d like to see

July 11: Chalk the Block (4:00 to 7:00 p.m.)
Chalk artist demonstration, hands-on drawings, bubbles, hoola-hoops

July 18: Kids Corner (4:00 to 7:00 p.m.)
Ring toss and Giant board games like Chess and Connect 4

July 25: Get Fit at Grosvenor (5:00 to 5:45 p.m.)
Free Zumba class by Fit for Women Gym

 

Get educated and entertained at the Eat Play Live Well Street Fair on July 15 at the Phoenix Centre.

This annual event is a chance to meet local organizations and learn what they bring to the community. This year’s educational theme will offer resources on how to make healthy, informed choices so that you can eat, play and live well. Learn from local groups about health, financial literacy, safety and other lifestyle topics.

Eat Play Live Well Street Fair also brings fun and entertainment for the family. With a front and back stage, enjoy live performances from a lineup of local musicians. Children will love the bouncy castle, games and interactive activities. Take a stroll among booths to support local vendors and see the well-crafted products they create. Food vendors will also be on site to keep you energized during the fair.

Admission is free for all ages.

When was the last time you had a picnic? On June 18th, the City of Surrey will join the world in celebrating International Picnic Day.

Come on out for an evening of music, fun activities and of course, tasty bites.

Surrey Parks will be leading this year’s International Picnic Day by encouraging a get together
outside to enjoy a meal and be in one another’s company.

With the arrival of summer weather, this is a great opportunity to bring your friends, family
and neighbours outdoors to an exciting event.

The fun kicks off at 5:30 p.m. at Forsyth Park, lasting until 7:30 p.m. Surrey Parks will host a
light picnic. Since it is on a first come, first serve basis, make sure to come early. You are also
welcome to bring your own blanket, chairs, and any props that you would like to relax with.
During the event, various activities will be provided. There will be mini golf as friendly
competition for of all ages and a bouncy castle that will have kids laughing and
jumping.

For those who would simply like to relax and have some food under the sun, there is also
music for you to enjoy.

With so many beautiful places in the area, events like these create more opportunities
to connect with the rest of Downtown Surrey. Events like these exemplify the community
we know and love.

Guests are free to bring their own food and beverages. Pack your basket and picnic blanket; we will see you there!
