Latin Festival at Surrey Civic Plaza in 2025

The Surrey Latin Festival is a fun celebration of Latin culture in the City of Surrey. The festival has been running most years since 2018 and is free to attend. It’s organized by women and provides an inclusive and multicultural space for artistic expression and socializing.

The festival happens at an outdoor venue in the middle of summer. There is a different theme for the festivities each year. Activities to enjoy at the event usually include live music, dance performances, Latin cuisine, crafts and a beer garden. There are always lots of family-friendly things to see and do.

When and Where?

In 2025 the festival is on the Saturday and Sunday of August 9th and 10th. Festivities take place from 12:00 pm to 10:00 pm on both days. The venue for the event is at Surrey Civic Plaza at 13450 104th Avenue. The plaza is a public square outside Surrey City Hall and just a block away from the Surrey Central SkyTrain station.

Festival Program

The theme for the 2024 Surrey Latin Festival was Con Aroma A Cafe (which meant “With a Coffee Aroma”). As one might expect, there were a number of coffee vendors on site that year. In 2025 the theme is Cumbia: Una Fiesta Sin Fronteras (which means Cumbia: A Party Without Borders in English). Cumbia, meanwhile, is a type of dance music originating from Colombia.

The event features a variety of musical artists as well as artisan vendors and food trucks serving traditional Latin food and sweet treats. There is also a Kids’ Plaza with photo opportunities and roaming characters in costume, along with a face painting station, dance classes and more. (Note: As of early June, exact details for the 2025 schedule were still to be announced.)

There is a full slate of performances throughout both days. 2024’s schedule of events was as follows (and the 2025 lineup will likely be comparable):
