Surrey's Party for the Planet to feature Good for Grapes, Five Alarm Funk

SURREY — B.C.’s largest Earth Day celebration just got a little juicier, with Good for Grapes announced as event headliners.

The contest-winning Surrey band will be featured at the city’s Party for the Planet on Saturday, April 25, along with party band Five Alarm Funk.

The free, day-long festival is expected to attract 25,000 people to Surrey City Hall and City Centre Library from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Main-stage headliners for the annual event were announced Monday (March 23). Other entertainers include Charlotte Diamond, North Shore Celtic Ensemble and Kiki the Eco Elf.

Party for the Planet is an event designed “to inspire awareness for the Earth’s natural environment.” Attractions will include Raptors Ridge Birds of Prey, a rock-climbing wall, farmers’ market, tree sale, eco craft station and more.

Last fall, the folk-rock sextet Good for Grapes won the Peak Performance Project talent contest, earning the band a cool $102,700 in prize money.

Event details are posted at Surrey.ca/partyfortheplanet.
