SURREY – Last Saturday, 10,000 music lovers from across the lower mainland came together at Surrey Civic Plaza to attend the Let’s Hear It BC Junos Plaza Party. 

The free, one-day music festival showcased live music from over 30 artists across six stages, including Junio Award nominees, Tyler Joe Miller, Chani Nattan and Inderpal Moga, as well as Punjabi music veteran Sarbjit Cheema. 

The festival showcased the best of B.C’s music scene for the community to experience the spirit of the JUNOS ahead of the 2025 Juno Awards Broadcast in Vancouver at Rogers Arena on Saturday, Mar. 30. In addition to live performances, the festival featured an open jam, 5X Art Party, local music organizations, food trucks and a licensed area.

“Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Let’s Hear It BC Junos Plaza Party at Surrey Civic Plaza,” said Mayor Brenda Locke. “We were filled with pride as we celebrated the remarkable talent of our artists, our shared love for our country and the spirit of Surrey. This festival marked an important milestone for Surrey, reinforcing our commitment to fostering homegrown talent and showcasing our city as a shining example of unity and creativity. We are committed to supporting local artists, hosting cultural events, and making Surrey a premier destination for live music.” 

The Plaza Party marked the first-ever music festival of its kind produced by the City of Surrey, a milestone moment in Surrey’s entertainment evolution. Surrey is actively shaping City Centre into a vibrant entertainment district, attracting visitors and strengthening the music, arts, and culture scene. Guided by the City’s Surrey Music Strategy adopted in 2023, the festival supported its objectives to grow the local music industry, create more opportunities for Surrey-based artists, and establish Surrey as a premier destination for free music events. 

Upcoming events include the Let’s Hear It Live JUNO Block Party, a 3-day free, all-ages festival happening at the Vancouver Art Gallery from Mar. 27-29.
