FVDED in the Park is a music festival at Surrey’s Holland Park. The event features electronic, dance, rap, bass, house and other high-energy music.

In 2026 FVDED in the Park returned to Holland Park on July 3rd and 4th. The festival ran from 2:00 pm until about 11:00 pm on both days.

This year’s event had more than 60 artists performing over four stages. Headliners included FISHER on the Friday and Dom Dolla on the Saturday. Other major names included GRiZ, Mau P, Knock2, Crankdat, Odd Mob, Whipped Cream and many others.

FVDED in the Park is so popular it tends to sell out. Another event that happens around the same time is Carnaval del Sol. It’s an event celebrating Latin music, food and culture in Vancouver. There is also the Khatsahlano Street Party which is free to attend.

Other music events in July include Port Moody Ribfest, the Fort Langley Jazz & Arts Festival, Surrey Fusion Festival, Vancouver Folk Music Festival and Mission Folk Music Festival.

FVDED Location and 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 close to the King George SkyTrain Station.

The 2026 event was for people ages 16 and older. VIP areas were for people ages 19 and older only.

Ticket types this year included general admission, GA+ and VIP. There were also single-day and two-day ticket options. General admission included access to the festival. GA+ included priority entry, a designated GA+ bar and flushable washrooms. VIP included priority entry, a VIP viewing area overlooking the main stage, a VIP bar, and flushable washrooms.

Prices ranged by tier and availability. In 2026, tickets cost between $150 and $400 per person. Next year’s prices are likely to be similar, but the 2027 festival has yet to be confirmed.

Food and Drink at the Festival

There was a large food truck area at FVDED in 2026. It felt like a small food village. There were also many bars across the festival, and guests were given special wristbands once their IDs had been checked at the bar.

Vendors this year included Big Red’s Poutine, Booster Juice, G’s Donairs, Just Jerkin Around, REEL Mac and Cheese, JAPADOG and others.

TIP: The event is cashless. They accept credit and debit cards only on site.

Our Experience at FVDED in 2026

We attended FVDED in the Park in 2026. The event had a fun, high-energy atmosphere. The festival was very busy, and the layout worked well.

One of the smaller stages featured lots of floral decorations and photo opportunities, and there were various Instagrammable spots throughout the festival. The main stage had the lawn area in front of it where most people danced, some on others’ shoulders!

The festival started at 2:00 pm each day and ended at 11:00 pm. So it felt more like a daytime-and-sunset festival than a late-night event.

On the sunnier second day, people sat on the grass to eat and relax between dancing. There were plenty of food options in the food truck village near the Forest Stage.

The crowd had people of different ages, but most seemed to be between about 20 and 40 years old. Fashion was also a big part of the event. Many people wore rave outfits, bright colours, glitter, festival clothing, and neon accessories.

The general admission area was enjoyable. There was room toward the back and sides of the main stage for people who did not want to be in the middle of the crowd, and it only got really packed there when the biggest headliner was performing.

The VIP area was also worth the extra admission price. It had a large section with its own bar, a couple of food trucks, better bathrooms and a platform viewing area with some high-top tables. There was more space, but at times it was still very busy. At the other large stage, there is a VIP area raised up, which was a good perk above the crowd and next to the DJ.

What to Bring and Not to Bring

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

Recommended Things to Take

Good things to bring include cream or gel sunscreen, comfortable shoes, a sweater for the evening and a small approved bag.

Hydration packs are allowed if they meet the festival rules. Soft-sided water bottles are also allowed, but they cannot be more than one litre. Free water stations are available on site.

Umbrellas are not allowed, even if rain is expected, so pack a raincoat if the forecast calls for rain.

Prohibited Items at the Festival

Commonly banned items include alcohol, outside food and beverages, sharp objects, glass, cameras with detachable lenses, selfie sticks, Frisbees, skateboards, chairs, and other items listed by festival organizers. Drugs and weapons are strictly prohibited.

Smoking is permitted only in designated areas. Dogs are not allowed unless they are working guide dogs.

All bags are inspected before entry. The festival also has a clear bag-style policy. Small bags, belt bags and fanny packs are usually best.

TIP: There are no in-and-out privileges. If you leave before the end of the day, you cannot re-enter with the same ticket.

FVDED Parking and Transit

Holland Park is beautiful, but it doesn’t offer many parking options. Using public transit is highly recommended. King George SkyTrain Station is the best stop for the festival. It is very close to the entrance. If you are coming from downtown Vancouver, take the Expo Line to King George Station. Central City SkyTrain Station is another option on the other side of the Central City Mall, which is not too far away.

Getting to the festival by SkyTrain is easy. Getting home can take longer because at the end of the night, thousands of people leave at once. Be prepared to wait. Uber and taxi waits can be long. In 2026, waits of up to an hour were possible after the festival ended.

There are not many bars or restaurants close by where people can wait after the event. A good plan is to arrange a taxi in advance or have someone pick you up a few blocks away from the festival grounds.

This year the official rideshare and taxi area was by Central City Mall, across Old Yale Road near the parking lot east of Shoppers Drug Mart.

Drivers are encouraged to use public parking at King George Station or Scott Road Station. Bikes are not normally allowed inside the festival venue. Bike racks are available outside the festival.

TIP: Take transit if you can. It is much easier than trying to park near Holland Park.
