Pavilion Sessions — Celebrating community, culture and connection in Surrey.
Marcon and 5X join forces to celebrate community, culture and connection in Surrey.
As Surrey continues its transformation into one of Canada’s most dynamic urban centres, Marcon is proud to announce a meaningful collaboration with 5X, a leading Panjabi arts and culture festival, to further enrich the city’s cultural landscape. This partnership reinforces Marcon’s commitment to creating spaces where community, creativity, and cultural expression thrive.
With Surrey projected to become British Columbia’s largest city by 2030, Marcon is investing in its people, not just its infrastructure. The Surrey Pavilion, Marcon’s newly launched community space, is a tangible reflection of this vision—a place where arts, culture, and shared experiences take centre stage. Through this partnership, 5X will bring immersive cultural programming, showcasing Panjabi artists and storytellers while inviting broader audiences to engage with South Asian heritage. Together, Marcon and 5X are weaving stronger cultural connections that reinforce Surrey’s identity.
Community is at the heart of Surrey’s evolution. A city that puts people first must recognize that arts and culture are essential threads in the fabric of belonging. 5X has played a pivotal role in shaping Metro Vancouver’s cultural landscape, championing the underrepresented voices of Panjabi youth and artists. What began as a festival has grown into a movement, redefining how South Asian music and art are experienced across diverse local and international audiences.
By aligning with 5X, Marcon is deepening its investment in Surrey’s cultural ecosystem. This partnership will bring community activations, public events, and digital storytelling to the Pavilion, allowing it to serve as a hub for meaningful cultural programming.
At its core, 5X serves as a bridge—preserving Panjabi heritage while evolving its contemporary expressions for new audiences. This mission seamlessly aligns with Marcon’s belief that real estate development is about more than just building spaces; it’s about fostering environments that bring people together, create connections and enhance the lived experience of the communities they serve.
Marcon and 5X are vital threads in Surrey’s fabric, intertwining tradition and innovation to ensure culture is not only preserved but remains vibrant and relevant. Marcon’s upcoming 102+Park development, set to open in 2029, will further extend this vision by integrating public spaces designed for creative engagement and cultural exchange.
