Surrey Khalsa Day Vaisakhi Parade 2026

The world’s largest Vaisakhi parade is set to return to Surrey this spring, with massive crowds expected as the community gathers to celebrate this significant religious festival.

The Surrey Khalsa Day Vaisakhi Parade returns on Saturday, April 18th, with organizers expecting more than 600,000 people to be in attendance.

The parade commemorates the founding of the Khalsa in 1699 by Guru Gobind Singh Ji (10th Sikh Guru) and a commitment to sovereignty, human rights, equality, and fairness.
