Sweet Spring at Greendale Acres in 2026

Greendale Acres is a farm in the Fraser Valley. It’s located at 41905 Yale Road West in Chilliwack. The farm hosts various events throughout the year. For example, there’s the Chilliwack Plowing Match in early April, Easter-themed celebrations on the Easter Long Weekend, and Sweet Spring from late March or early April until May. Other events include the Chilliwack Corn Festival in the summer and Chilliwack Corn Maze from August until October.

The Sweet Spring Flower Festival is a wonderful event for all ages. There are colourful flower beds with more than 120,000 bulbs to check out. What’s more, the place is full of fun activities for children.

The flowers at Greendale Acres are planted in unique patterns. Instead of just a field full of flowers, like some other tulip festivals, Sweet Spring features a stunningly beautiful garden! There are also many things to do at the farm, especially for kids. In fact, if you have young children or grandchildren, Sweet Spring is arguably the best flower festival in BC. A couple of other flower festivals might have millions more flowers. Sweet Spring, however, because of all the fun play structures and games, will probably be your children’s favourite!

During Sweet Spring visitors get to interact with farm animals. There’s also a hay bale maze and a big jumping pillow, along with a pedal cart track and various play structures for children.

(Note: Exact dates and times are subject to change depending on the weather and growing season conditions. Also, peak tulip season doesn’t usually start until around mid-April, depending on the year. In late March and early April, there are a few flowers, including daffodils. Between the middle of April and early May, that’s when the tulips are everywhere. There are baby animals and tons of kid-friendly activities to enjoy throughout the season, however, and extra fun things to do around Easter.)
