Chilliwack Corn Festival at Greendale Acres

Greendale Acres hosts a Chilliwack Corn Festival in the summer. The event features corn-related competitions, live music and other family-friendly activities.

In 2026 the festival happens on the BC Day Long Weekend as well as on the second weekend in August.

(Note: Greendale Acres is where the famous Chilliwack Corn Maze takes place in late summer and the fall, and events like the Chilliwack Plowing Match and Sweet Spring Flower Festival happen in April. It’s also a place where you’ll find all sorts of amazing farm-related games and activities for children.)

Chilliwack Corn Festival in the Fraser Valley

Greendale Acres is a farm in Chilliwack with a variety of family-friendly attractions and events to check out throughout the year. The property has farm animals, a giant jumping pillow and playground structures. Greendale Acres usually opens around Easter and remains open for the Sweet Spring Flower Festival. Greendale Acres also has a special event celebrating the summer season and the annual opening of its Corn Maze.

The Chilliwack Corn Festival debuted on the BC Day long weekend in 2024 and it’s back for the third time this year!

Full of sweet corn and fun at the farm, the festival has corn eating and corn shucking contests. There’s delicious sweet corn and corn-based dishes to eat. The Chilliwack Corn Festival is also a licensed event, meaning there are alcoholic beverages available too. Live music takes place each day.
