Love a small-town festival? Fort Langley, British Columbia has tons of celebrated annual traditions, including a fall cranberry festival that you won’t want to miss.
Attracting nearly 35,000 people every year, the beloved grassroots festival celebrates the cranberry’s role in the region’s local history, which according to the Fort Langley Project, dates back thousands of years!
The festival started in 1995 to celebrate the annual harvest in Fort Langley, and has since continued to grow in size and attendance.
Visitors get to peruse local vendors and businesses as they indulge in fall-themed treats and activities.
The 29th Annual Cranberry Festival will take place on October 12th this year, so mark your calendars and stay tuned for more details as they come, including vendor and market info!
Looking for even more ways to take part in BC’s cranberry season? Fort Langley’s BOG at Riverside Cranberry Farm will also host self-guided farm experiences centred around the vibrant red berry.
And if past years are any indication, visitors can expect to walk through a sea of floating cranberries, and even do a ‘cranberry plunge!’
So if you’re planning a fall day trip to the Township of Langley, get ready to fully immerse yourself in cranberry season.
When: Saturday, October 12th
