This year, the festival will provide two days of free entertainment, children's activities, food trucks, rides, and photos with Santa. In 2022, the event drew a crowd of over 20,000 attendees and anticipates a larger turnout in 2023. The tree lighting ceremony is scheduled for Saturday, November 25, and the festival will extend into Sunday, November 26 with the illuminated tree remaining on display throughout the weekend and into January 2024.
Organizers welcome participation from small businesses, community organizations, musicians, dancers, and corporations for the upcoming festival.

Hello Friend:
I would like to invite you to participate in our signature gala, happening Saturday, November 4. This year’s event is called Mystery on the Nile. We’ll be turning back the clock to the times of Ancient Egypt as we raise funds for SOURCES greatest areas of need, including a focus on our Community Living Programs to support persons with developmental disabilities and autism. Our programs are designed to empower these individuals to live a good quality of life as well as create a sense of connection and belonging to the community in which they live in.
As a part of our efforts, we would like to create a home for life so that our clients can age in place. Funds raised from the gala will be directed to improving the living arrangements for increased accessibility and adaptability for our clients. We also wish to bring them closer to their families living in Surrey.
We have set our fundraising goal at $400,000 and would love to have you take part in our cause. Gala tickets are $250 and can be purchased HERE.
If you would like a table, please contact Abby at AGemino@SourcesBC.ca.
As you may know, this is a sold-out event every year so I encourage you to act quickly. As at today, this gala is already 50% sold out.
Thank you for considering SOURCES and I hope you can join me on November 4.
Warm regards,
David Young
Chief Executive Officer
