The Taste of Abby is a fall food festival in Abbotsford. It includes a market, a guided circle farm tour, Harvest Fest event and other activities in September.
In 2026 the event takes place from September 18th to 27th. The festival celebrates Abbotsford’s rich agricultural roots and vibrant food and culture scene. The festival includes the popular Night Market, along with other food, farm and community experiences throughout the week.
Note: Not to be confused with The Taste of Abby in Abbotsford in autumn, Taste of the Valley is a food-themed market event that takes place in February in Chilliwack at Chilliwack Heritage Park. The two events are unrelated. Both are really good, though, and involve food.
Other events you may like around the same time in the Fraser Valley include the Agassiz Fall Fair & Corn Festival (mid-September) and Stinking Rose Garlic Festival in Chilliwack (latter half of September). Both of them have food and/or harvest themes too. Fun autumn-themed, family-friendly activities also happen at Maan Farms and Taves Family Farms in Abbotsford and both Fantasy Farms and Greendale Acres in Chilliwack.

A Taste of Abby Food Events in Autumn
The first Taste of Abby festival took place in 2022 and was a great success. The festival takes place once again in September 2026.
Taste of Abby promotes local restaurants as well as the Fraser Valley farmers who provide them with fresh, wholesome ingredients. Participating restaurants feature new items on their menus during the event, and there are special offers on hand as well.
The festivities begin with the outdoor Night Market and continue with pop-up events, farm-to-table experiences and special menu features.
The Taste of Abby Night Market
The Taste of Abby Night Market kicks off the fall festival. As of this writing in mid-April, the 2026 market details are yet to be announced. However, it is likely to happen at the start of the festival on September 18th.
