I'm so thankful that the rain was falling last night...I hope the trees are breathing a little easier and the salmon streams are recharged a bit. The Wilds will add their voices to Alouette Rivers Day that our salmon relatives will be able to get upstream and spawn. Come and sing for just the right amount of rain into Kanaka Creek, Maggie Creek and all the important salmon waterways big and small...and of course our great Stó:lō Fraser River. Come!

White Rock director-actor-playwright Alex Browne is back – with an atmospheric, full-length ‘radio noir’ play, Blue Prelude, at Peninsula Productions’ studio theatre in Centennial Park (14600 North Bluff Road).

The four performances are on Saturday, Sept. 30 and Sunday, Oct. 4, at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. each day.

Written by Browne (The Dawn Patrol, White Rock Players; The Adventures of Max Bennett, Dreaming Elephant) and presented in vintage radio style, complete with commercials – and authentically dressed by co-producer and costumer Kat Siemens – it’s a fond tribute to the noir esthetic of the 1940s and 1950s and the bad old days when crime and corruption were rampant in the neon-lit streets of Vancouver.

'Man of 1000 Voices' Hunter Golden and glamourous, multi-talented Jacqueline Rose have fun rehearsing scenes from "Blue Prelude," our original 'Radio Noir' live drama - presented by Aristocratic Entertainment and set to make its debut Sept. 30 - Oct. 1 at Peninsula Productions' Studio Theatre, Centennial Park, White Rock.

Applications are now open for vendors, non-profits, exhibitors, sponsors, and performers

The 13thannual Surrey Tree Lighting Festival & Holiday Market presented by Concord Pacific has been extended to two days in 2023. The festival will be held at Surrey Civic Plaza on Saturday, November 25 and Sunday, November 26 from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. Applications are now open for holiday market vendors, non-profits, exhibitors, sponsors, and performers to participate in the festival.

“On behalf of Council, I am pleased to announce the expansion of the Surrey Tree Lighting Festival into a two-day event,” says Mayor Brenda Locke, “We are proud to produce events that are so well received by the community and are excited to help create holiday memories for event attendees and residents of Surrey.”

The Surrey Tree Lighting Festival & Holiday Market has extended in response to strong interest, support, and feedback from the community. This year, the festival will provide two days of free entertainment, children's activities, food trucks, rides, and photos with Santa. In 2022, the event drew a crowd of over 20,000 attendees and anticipates a larger turnout in 2023. The tree lighting ceremony is scheduled for Saturday, November 25, and the festival will extend into Sunday, November 26 with the illuminated tree remaining on display throughout the weekend and into January 2024.

Organizers welcome participation from small businesses, community organizations, musicians, dancers, and corporations for the upcoming festival. Local artisans can apply to display and sell their products in the Holiday Market, a 200-ft tent on Surrey Civic Plaza. To apply, and for more information visit www.surreytreelighting.ca/get-involved.

In 2013, the Delta Firefighters Charitable Society hosted the inaugural Harvest Festival as a fundraising event to support and celebrate our City's rich history of success.

When Barnside Brewing Co. approached us to borrow the festival's name, we gladly agreed, given the festival's commitment to giving back to the community.

Therefore, the Delta Firefighters Charitable Society is proud to present our first online 50/50 draw, which will run until the final day of The Barnside Harvest Festival Concerts or until tickets are sold out.

Tickets are currently available for purchase.

Join us in giving back to our community!
