Hundreds of thousands of people filled the streets of Surrey Saturday for the Vaisakhi parade.
It returned after a three-year absence due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The float-filled parade began at the Sikh temple (12885 85 Ave., Surrey), travelling along 124 Street to 75 Avenue, along 76 Avenue and then on 128 Street before returning to the temple.
Hundreds of booths line the route as businesses and families hand out food and treats to parade-goers.
