The parade kicks off from Ross Street Temple (8000 Ross Street) and makes its way through South Vancouver’s Punjabi Market. Along the route, expect to see vibrant floats, energetic community performances, and live music filling the streets. A major highlight of the celebration is the incredible display of seva (selfless service), as local residents and businesses offer free food and drinks to everyone attending.
