One of the world’s largest Vaisakhi celebrations in the world was underway in Surrey, B.C. on Saturday, with hundreds of thousands flooding the streets for the popular annual event.

Organizers had expected more than 700,000 people to attend the event, a record number for the celebration.

Vasakhi dates back to 1699 and celebrates the revelation of the Khalsa, which refers to a community that considers Sikhism its faith. It has become a holy day to mark the birth of the Khalsa fraternity.
