SEASONS OF HANDMADE & HOMEGROWN

sPRING

Spring is when Abbotsford wakes up. Fields burst into colour, trails are ready to be explored, and fresh flavours return to menus across the city. It’s a season rooted in growth; perfect for farm visits, winery brunches, creative workshops, and outdoor adventures made sweeter by longer days.

  • Flower fields, farmstands, and Circle Farm Tour stops
  • Outdoor adventures on Sumas Mountain and along river trails
  • Arts & culture itineraries filled with galleries and hands‑on making
  • Farm‑to‑table dining that celebrates what’s just come into season

sUMMER

Summer brings Abbotsford outdoors. Fields fill with berries and lavender, patios and beer lawns buzz with conversation, and community events bring people together week after week. There’s movement everywhere from live music and festivals to cycling routes and family adventures.

  • Festivals, markets, and live music
  • Berry picking, lavender fields, and u‑pick farms
  • Abbotsford Agrifair and signature events
  • Long days exploring trails, tasting routes, and neighbourhoods

  • Taste of Abby Fall Festival and culinary celebrations
  • Brewery tours and harvest menus
  • Scenic drives and cozy arts experiences

WINTER

Winter reveals a quieter side of Abbotsford; one that’s creative, comforting, and deeply community‑driven. It’s a season for winter hikes, cultural experiences, intimate dining, and stories told indoors while the land rests outside.
