Bright Nights Holiday Display Returns to Surrey Roots

The Bright Nights light display is returning to its original home in Surrey as part of the Noel Holiday Light Festival at the Cloverdale Fairgrounds from Nov. 28 to Dec. 28. Now in its 28th year, the firefighter-led holiday tradition features nearly three million lights, a 30,000-square-foot Noel Village with children’s activities, live music, dining, and markets, plus rides such as a 50-foot Ferris wheel. First launched in the 1980s by Surrey residents Bob Wingfield and Marg Barrett, Bright Nights has become the largest annual fundraiser for the BC Professional Fire Fighters’ Burn Fund, with proceeds supporting burn survivors and their families across B.C.
