TransLink's colorful bus artwork, community gatherings, and free food at Surrey's Vaisakhi parade make this festival a must-attend event!

Vaisakhi, a significant religious festival in the Sikh Calendar, is bringing joy and vibrancy to Metro Vancouver. TransLink is spreading the festive spirit with a stunning bus wrap designed by visual artist Jag Nagra. Crowds are set to gather at the Guru Nanak Sikh Temple in Williams Lake for a day filled with celebrations and cultural activities. The tradition of giving food to parade-goers at Surrey's Vaisakhi parade adds a heartwarming touch to the event.

As the excitement builds up for Vaisakhi, residents and visitors are gearing up for the annual celebrations in South Vancouver. Road closures and bustling streets will mark the festive weekend. TransLink's new colorful Vaisakhi bus will be cruising through Metro Vancouver, adding a splash of tradition to the city's streets. The fusion of art, culture, and community spirit is at the core of the Vaisakhi festivities, creating a vibrant and inclusive atmosphere for all to enjoy.

Did you know that Vaisakhi is not only celebrated by Sikhs but also holds significance for Hindus and Buddhists? The festival symbolizes the spirit of harvest and unity. Additionally, the tradition of giving free food at Vaisakhi parades reflects the Sikh value of selfless service and community sharing. These traditions are deeply rooted in the essence of Vaisakhi, making it a memorable and enriching experience for all participants.
