Details on the Surrey 2010 Celebration Site

The City of Surrey, an official partner with the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, will play host to the biggest games-time celebration south of the Fraser. The Surrey 2010 Celebration Site is a 13 day FREE winter festival featuring live entertainment, live Games broadcasts, arts performances and on site activities.

The Surrey 2010 Celebration Site is situated at Holland Park, a 24 acre urban oasis in the heart of the Surrey’s business district. It will offer the opportunity to share the Olympic spirit with the community while watching live Games coverage on four massive video screens. The screens will be located throughout the site, including indoors under a 30,000 square foot mega tent. Visitors will also enjoy an array of international food vendors and global entertainment that will celebrate Surrey’s cultural diversity.

“The 2010 games is an opportunity to think globally, show your community spirit and create a lasting legacy for our community,” says Mayor Dianne Watts.

The Celebration Site will also host world renowned talent on two stages including Sam Roberts, 54-40, Randy Bachman, Tokyo Police Club, WinterSleep, Hot Hot Heat, Serena Ryder, Jully Black, KS Makhan, Dan Mangan, Doc Walker, Irish Descendants, Alex Cuba, Jim Byrnes & the Sojourners, Hey Rosetta, Five Alarm Funk, and Delhi 2 Dublin.

Canada’s RCMP Musical Ride will also be a permanent fixture onsite to dazzle spectators with two daily choreographed equestrian performances.

Guests to the Surrey 2010 Celebration Site can also participate in FREE on-site activities such as mingling with the 2010 mascots, zipping down one of the runs at the Sliding Zone, gliding around the outdoor Skating Rink and tossing a few rocks at the Curling Zone.
