Surrey, B.C. – The City of Surrey will produce and host the Let’s Hear it BC JUNOS Plaza Party at Surrey Civic Plaza from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturday, Mar. 15. As one of six cities on the Let’s Hear it BC JUNO Tour ahead of the JUNO Awards in Vancouver on Sunday, Mar. 30, the Let’s Hear it BC JUNOS Plaza Party will bring the spirit of the JUNOS to the heart of Surrey. This free music festival invites residents to experience over 30 artists across six stages. Attendees can also enjoy family programming, local music organizations, exhibitors, and food trucks.
“I am thrilled to announce the Let’s Hear it BC JUNOS Plaza Party, a vibrant celebration of music and culture right here in Surrey,” said Mayor Brenda Locke. “Surrey is rapidly establishing itself as Canada’s music city, and the city is committed to nurturing a dynamic environment for artistic expression. We are proud that Surrey’s young, thriving and diverse community is driving the growth of its vibrant arts, culture and music scene. I’m happy to see Punjabi music and culture highlighted as part of this year’s event, showcasing the rich cultural diversity that Surrey embodies. The JUNOS Plaza Party reflects our community’s growing reputation as a premier destination for world-class music events, and we invite everyone to join us in experiencing the incredible spirit of Canadian music.”
The Let’s Hear it BC JUNOS Plaza Party will bring the JUNOS experience to Surrey with an all-day celebration of music, food and culture. Attendees can look forward to free live music from local and regional talent across six stages: the Main Stage on the Plaza; 5X Art Party with South Asian DJs; family programming on the Community Stage; and local musicians performing throughout the Plaza, City Centre Library, and Dominion restaurant in the Civic Hotel. Headliners will be announced later in February.
“The Let’s Hear It BC JUNO Tour is all about bringing the spirit of the JUNOS to your hometown and showcasing the incredible talent that thrives in all corners of our province. From emerging artists to seasoned performers, we’re bringing their stories and sounds to the stage for everyone to enjoy,” shared Nate Sabine, co-chair of the Vancouver JUNO Host Committee. “Surrey has long been a vibrant epicenter for music, particularly South Asian music, nurturing incredible talent and shaping the sound of an entire generation. This makes it a natural stop for the tour, especially in the year the JUNOS introduced the South Asian Music Recording of the Year category. This event is more than just a celebration of music—it’s a celebration of community, culture, and the creative spirit that makes our province so special. Join us as we shine a spotlight on the voices that deserve to be heard!”
