About Us

South-Asian Family Festival

An event of full day fun and masti

The first ever South-Asian Family Festival is coming to the PNE this summer. This inaugural SAF Festival will be a full day of fun with music, arts, cultural performances, and parades. The festival will include a marketplace, with vendors from both Canada and India, a fashion show featuring top Indian and Bollywood designers, a car and truck Show and Shine, plus many other features and attractions.

BC’s Lower Mainland is an area rich in ethnic diversity and is one of the most desired locations in North America. This community thrives on embracing cultural festivities from around the globe.

This year, the South-Asian Family Festival will bring together and celebrate this cultural diversity at the PNE Fairgrounds. Visitors from not only the GVRD, but from surrounding areas like Washington State and surrounding cities, will be attending this festival.
