Surrey gears up for biggest Vaisakhi parade in Canada

The Surrey, B.C., Vaisakhi parade takes place on Saturday, with over 500,000 people attending last year's event. Vaisakhi is the annual Sikh festival that celebrates the new harvest, and is usually celebrated with colourful floats, music and food every spring.
