The world’s largest Vaisakhi Parade is returning to Surrey once more in 2026. Coming this April, this event commemorates the founding of the Khalsa in 1699 by Guru Gobind Singh Ji, and a “commitment to sovereignty, human rights, equality, and fairness.”
Surrey Khalsa Day Vaisakhi Parade 2026
Over 600,000 attendees from all around the world are expected to join the 2026 Surrey Khalsa Day Vaisakhi Parade. The parade plans to feature a colourful procession of over 2,500 participants representing 20 community organizations. There will also be hundreds of booths along the route, sponsored by local families and businesses, giving away free food and drinks to onlookers.
Moreover, there will be stages that feature live entertainment, such as singing and dancing. Be sure to stop by and watch some of the acts.
Everyone is welcome to attend the Vaisakhi Parade. As a sign of respect, “attendees are encouraged to cover their heads if they are walking with the floats and while eating food from the stalls along the parade route.” The parade will also happen rain or shine, so it’s best to dress for the potential weather.
Parade Route
“The parade route begins at Gurdwara Dashmesh Darbar (12885 85th Avenue) and travels along 124 Street, turns left onto 75 Avenue, continues on 76 Avenue, and onto 128 Street before returning to the temple,” says the Discovery Surrey website. Do note that most streets near this route will be blocked to traffic, making parking difficult to find.
Some suggested watching spots include along 76 Avenue or 124 Street. They’re easier to navigate, and make for a great location to spot all the floats going by. For more information, check out the Discover Surrey website page on the 2026 Surrey Khalsa Day Vaisakhi Parade.
