FVDED Location & Admission

The FVDED in the Park music festival takes place at Holland Park at 13428 Old Yale Road. The park is across the street from the Central City Shopping Centre in Surrey and not far from the King George SkyTrain Station.

Early bird ticket sales for the event in 2025 can now be booked online. Two-day general admission passes start at around $290. There are also two-day GA+ passes available for about $329 that include express entry and flushable washrooms. Two-day VIP passes start at about $429 and include the same perks of the GA+ passes, as well as access to private standing areas near the stages and a private bar. (Note: VIP areas are for ages 19+. Minors are not permitted.)

What to Bring and Not to Bring

As with many music festivals these days, there are things you are allowed to take to FVDED in the Park and things you are not allowed to take.

Recommended Things to Take

Good things that you can take to FVDED in the Park most years include a hydration pack, sunscreen and a sweater if the evenings are cool. A free water station is usually available for people wanting to fill their packs.

No umbrellas are allowed, even if it looks like rain’s in the forecast. The event takes place no matter the weather. Pack a raincoat if the weather looks iffy.

Prohibited Items at the Festival

Items NOT allowed at the concert venue typically include alcohol, sharp objects, cameras with detachable lenses, selfie sticks, Frisbees, skateboards, and outside food and beverages, as well as the usual list of obvious items like drugs and weapons.

Smoking is only permitted in one area at the festival. Dogs are also not allowed, unless they are a working guide dog.

For everyone’s safety, bags are normally inspected prior to entry and banned items are confiscated.

FVDED Parking and Transit

Holland Park is beautiful, but it doesn’t offer a lot of parking options. Using public transit is highly recommended, and Central City SkyTrain Station is on the other side of the Central City Mall, so not too far away. King George SkyTrain Station is even closer, located on just the other side of King George Boulevard.

Music fans attending the festival are usually encouraged to carpool and use public parking at the King George Station or at the Scott Road SkyTrain Station, and then from there take the SkyTrain three stops to King George. For folks dropping off passengers at the site, they can do so along the west side of King George Boulevard.

Bikes aren’t normally allowed inside the festival venue, but there are bicycle racks and a supervised valet service outside on a first-come, first-served basis (or at least there was in previous years).

TIP: Fans are encouraged to arrive early to find a parking spot for their car or bike. Central City mall is open Saturdays until 7:00 pm and those attending the festival can shop beforehand, grab a bite to eat or have a pre-concert beverage.
