Aldergrove Days

One of the longest running community events in the greater Vancouver region, Aldergrove Fair Days is a summertime tradition in Langley in July.

The event offers a wide range of activities and free admission. It took place from July 18th to 20th in 2025. Exact dates for the event in 2026 are to be confirmed.

Other even bigger events in Langley in the summer include the Fort Langley Jazz and Arts Festival and Ribfest Langley. The first is a terrific music festival that happens over four days in late July. The other is a barbecue-themed food festival with live music and family-friendly activities that runs over three days in mid-August. It too has free admission.

Aldergrove Fair Days in Langley

Aldergrove is a small, unincorporated community within the Township of Langley. It’s also one of the oldest communities in the entire Fraser Valley. The Aldergrove Agricultural Association was founded in 1912 and the first Aldergrove Fair was held that year. The festival has continued through to the present day pretty much every year. The event celebrated its 113th year when it returned to Aldergrove in July from the 18th to the 20th, 2025.

There are normally all sorts of things to do at the fair including midway games, taking part in contests, playing some sports and enjoying the live entertainment.

(Note: Aldergrove Fair Days is run by the same organization that hosts the Aldergrove Christmas Light Up Parade in December.)

Location and Admission

Aldergrove Fair Days takes place in Aldergrove Athletic Park at 26770 29th Avenue.

The fair typically opens from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm on the Friday, from 10:00 am to 10:00 pm on the Saturday, and from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm on the Sunday.

You don’t need a ticket to attend the fair. Admission is by donation so you can pay as much as you want to. Although admission is free, you do still need to pay for a few activities (if you want to do them), plus pay for your food and drinks.

Fair Attractions

There is a lot going on at Aldergrove Fair Days during the festival. There are plenty of displays to walk around and see including antique military equipment, tractor pulls and educational areas. In the midst of everything there are food trucks, a beer garden for those who are 19+ and a variety of artisan vendors.

Children and their families can check out the designated kids zone with its arts and crafts, face-painting and various games. There is plenty of entertainment to watch including dog shows, dance, music and more.

While admission to the fair itself is by donation, something that does require tickets are the midway games, and around six “rides.” (Note: When we say “rides,” they are usually of the bouncy castle type, so fun for little kids.)

Fast Draw and Other Competitions

There are different prize exhibits that take place such as baking, gardening and other categories, but also a fast draw competition. Fast draw is a sport that requires lightning-quick reflexes. Each participant has a gun holstered on their side (loaded with blanks) that they must use to quickly draw and fire at a target when given a signal. They are timed and the fastest shooter wins.
