If you’re looking for a celebration of autumn’s bounty in the form of seasonal eats, decorated scarecrows, and fall foliage – then look no further than Harvest Days at VanDusen. The Botanical Garden is hosting a family-friendly harvest festival surrounded by sugar maples, ginkgo trees, and other golden-toned trees that mark the season.

Take a stroll through the massive veggie garden, bales of hay, cornstalks, and pumpkins with a warm beverage in hand and fall colours all around you.

Visitors can expect to enjoy live bluegrass music while they peruse tasty food vendors like Bistrot Van, Popcorn in the Park, Coffee Bike, and Melt City Grilled Cheese. And for the little ones, there’s a scarecrow-themed hedge maze to check out!
