What to Expect

The Harrison Pumpkin Festival is a family-friendly event. 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 inaugural Harrison Pumpkin Festival also features fun contests. Expect to see people filling their arms with pumpkins. Folks can weigh their picks and compete in the heaviest pumpkin competition which runs for the full festival. There’s also a photo contest on Instagram showing off creative ways to carry pumpkins, so people will be taking lots of pictures.

During the Harrison Sunflower Festival, the farm features vintage vehicles, swings and some lawn games. All of those might be available for pumpkin patch visitors as well. Exact details, however, are to be confirmed.

Harrison Sunflower and Tulip Festivals

The Harrison Sunflower Festival takes place at the end of the summer and early fall before the pumpkin patch opens.

In 2023 it ran up until September 17th. This year’s festival featured nearly 15 acres of flowers including over 40 different varieties of sunflowers. There were also dahlias, zinnias and cosmos.

The Tulip Festival is going to have its first year back in Agassiz in the spring of 2024. Additional details are to be confirmed. In its last year in Chilliwack there were around 7 million flowers. Hopefully 2024 will be similar.
