Agassiz Fair and Corn Festival

The Agassiz Fall Fair and Corn Festival is a community event with a midway, parade, live music and an agricultural theme in the Fraser Valley in September.

Last year the fair happened on September 13th and 14th. On the same weekend and throughout the fall, there was also the Chilliwack Corn Maze as well as kid-friendly activities at places like Taves Family Farms and Maan Farms in Abbotsford. 2025’s fair dates are to be confirmed.

Agassiz Fall Fair

In 2024 the Agassiz Fall Fair ran on Friday, September 13th, and Saturday, September 14th. The fair happens indoors at the Agricultural Hall at 6800 Pioneer Avenue. Festivities also take place outside at the fairgrounds next door. Both locations are just a few blocks west of the main part of the small town of Agassiz.

Agassiz itself is a small agricultural community in the Municipality of Kent in the Eastern Fraser Valley. It’s about 25 kilometres northeast of Chilliwack, eight kilometres south of Harrison Hot Springs and close to 125 kilometres east of Vancouver.

Fall Fair Activities

The Agassiz Fall Fair and Corn Festival is a small event but includes an impressive selection of things to see and do.

 

Fair Midway

The midway happens on all days of the festival and features a typical selection of rides that go up and down, round and round and even right up and over. There aren’t a lot of rides, but a reasonable number and enough of a selection that there’s something for everyone.

The midway is usually open from 4:00 pm to 10:00 pm on the Friday and from 11:00 am to 6:00 pm on the Saturday. Exact hours are to be confirmed and are subject to change.

Saturday Activities

Activities usually include a small parade, 4H horse show, dog show, live music, corn husking and logging shows. There is also often a Kids’ Zone with pony rides, mini golf, bouncy castles and other child-friendly activities.

Also on the Saturday in previous years there was typically live entertainment, the crowning of the “Corn King and Queen,” and the showing and/or judging of poultry, donkeys, sheep, llamas, goats and horses. 2025 details are to be confirmed.
