The Harrison Pumpkin Festival was a new pumpkin patch event in the Fraser Valley. It happened at the same farm as the Harrison Sunflower Festival.

Note: The pumpkin-themed event last ran from late September until late October in 2023. It didn’t take place in 2024, it’s not happening in 2025, and it likely won’t return in the near future.

One event that is happening at the same location is the Harrison Tulip Festival. Visit harrisontulipfest.com for the latest details.

The Harrison Pumpkin Festival in Agassiz

The fall season heralds a wave of Pumpkin Patches across Metro Vancouver and the surrounding region. In 2023 there was a new major pumpkin patch in Agassiz.

That year the Harrison Pumpkin Festival happened at the same location as the Harrison Sunflower Festival. The pumpkin festival featured over 20 different types of gourds to choose from. A food truck was on-site each day and there were fun contests to enter throughout the festival.

When and Where?

The Harrison Pumpkin Festival took place at Onos Farms, which also hosted the Harrison Sunflower Festival. The farm is located near Harrison Hot Springs at 5039 Lougheed Highway in Agassiz.

The inaugural Harrison Pumpkin Festival ran on select days between September 29th and October 29th in 2023. The attraction was open primarily on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. The only other day it was open was on the Monday of the Thanksgiving Long Weekend.

Hours varied depending on the day. On Thursdays and Fridays the pumpkin patch was open from 11:00 am until 5:00 pm. On Saturdays and Sundays it opened one hour earlier and closed at the same time. Hours on Monday, October 9th, were from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm.

Ticket Prices

Admission to the Harrison Pumpkin Festival in 2023 cost $15 for everyone ages three and older. Tickets were available online as of September 27th. They were non-refundable. Children under the age of three entered for free.

Tickets included all-you-can-carry pumpkins, meaning you could take home as many as you could carry in your arms at no additional cost. No trolleys, carts or other carrying aids were allowed for those up for that challenge. Pumpkins were also available for purchase at the farm’s store for people who weren’t willing to carry a heavy load.

What to Expect

The Harrison Pumpkin Festival was a family-friendly event. If it happens again, expect to see people of all ages taking in the fall festivities. The farm is a very colourful attraction, as there are multiple shades of pumpkins in the field. There are beautiful flowers on-site as well, including dahlias, zinnia, cosmos and sunflowers. The Harrison Pumpkin Festival also featured fun contests.

At the event you could expect to see people filling their arms with pumpkins. People could weigh their picks and compete in the heaviest pumpkin competition which ran for the full festival. There was also a photo contest on Instagram showing off creative ways to carry pumpkins, so people took lots of pictures.

The farm features vintage vehicles, swings and some lawn games during the Harrison Sunflower Festival. All of those might have been available for pumpkin patch visitors as well, but that was unclear.

Harrison Sunflower and Tulip Festivals

The Harrison Sunflower Festival took place at the end of the summer and early fall a couple of years ago. The festival featured nearly 15 acres of flowers including over 40 different varieties of sunflowers. There were also dahlias, zinnias and cosmos. Unfortunately, the festival hasn’t happened since 2023.

The Harrison Tulip Festival, however, still operates in the spring. It’s back in 2025 with millions of flowers spread across around 25 acres of land!
