FVDED in the Park is a music festival at Surrey’s Holland Park that features over 24 rap, hip-hop, R&B, alternative and electronic music artists.
In 2025 the event happened on July 4th and 5th.
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 great events with music in July include Port Moody Ribfest, the Fort Langley Jazz & Arts Festival, TD Uptown Live, 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 not far from the King George SkyTrain Station.
This past year, two-day general admission passes started at around $300. There were also two-day GA+ passes available for about $370 that included express entry and flushable washrooms. Two-day VIP passes started at about $452 and included the same perks as 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 aren’t allowed.) Prices and other details in 2026 will likely be similar.
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 people 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.
Other Information
See the official FVDED website for more information about the concerts.
