Nothing sets a holiday mood like thousands of twinkling lights. Luckily, Chilliwack has no shortage of holiday light displays this year, and who doesn’t need a little sparkle in 2021?!
From elegant to extravagant, Chilliwack and Sardis residents are stringing the lights and putting out the inflatables to celebrate the holiday season and spread some cheer.
Not sure where to see these displays? We’ve gathered a list of our favourites right here!
If that’s not enough holiday cheer for you, here’s another event you’re sure to love!
Southside Church is having a drive-through Christmas lights event. The light displays will be up from December 9th until the 22nd, 2021, 6pm to 9pm. You can go check out a 200-foot festive tunnel, Candy Cane Lane, the North Pole, and Enchanted Forest, all lit up by thousands of sparkling lights.
They will also be accepting donations for local food banks, so remember to bring your contribution of a non-perishable food item with you.
There's no doubt that pets are blessings in our lives, but when it comes to planning a trip, arranging care for our furry family members can be a real headache. Constantly worrying about where to leave them, what to look for in a pet care service, and how much it will cost, can cause anxiety to mount and the costs to be even higher.
The good news is, it doesn’t have to be this daunting, and Chilliwack has some awesome options for pet owners who are looking to go on a quick night away, or a longer trip. We’ve put together a list of five great pet care places – let us know about any others we might have missed!
A group of pet lovers dedicated to providing a five-star experience for their furry guests, Posh Paws City Kennel assures plenty of playtime and attention.
If you’re hesitant and want to see the space before you commit, this is the place for you. When you first register, they will set up an assessment day so that they can spend some one-on-one time with your pet, getting to know them and determining which social groups they will best fit in with.
With 24 outdoor grass play areas for dogs to enjoy throughout the day, Black Walnut Kennel is the perfect place for those energetic pets to roam free.
Your pets will be staying in indoor/outdoor runs, with hot water floor heating in the indoor part, so that your dog can find comfort wherever they desire.
They supply all the necessities for your dog or cat, but if that’s not enough, you can bring your pet’s beloved toys for some extra comfort.
Bonus: If you’re concerned about your dog’s cleanliness after running around outside, Black Walnut Kennel also offers bathing and nail trimming for an extra charge.
Fairfield Kennels is a family-run business, and your pet will feel the comfort that comes with that! Specialized care is a priority here. They provide your dog with daily walks, personal attention, and lots of playtime with their other furry guests.
Rest assured, your pet will get all the companionship they need when they’re away from their family.
Unlike the others on this list, Sage Cat Sitting & Pet Transport specializes in cat services, including cat boarding as well as pet transportation to and from vet, groomer, and kennel.
They even provide visits to your residence, if you wish to leave your cat at home but need someone to check in on them and feed them daily.
Have you ever been worried about transporting your cat during a move? Sage Cat Sitting & Pet Transport runs pet shuttle services specific for airport check-ins and pickups, rural destinations and home relocation.
Next time you want to go on a cozy fall weekend trip, or need someone to take care of your pets for any other reason, try one of these places! We’re sure you’ll love whichever one you decide to use!

Corn is THE thing Chilliwack is so well known for as summer comes to an end and fall begins. It’s hard to miss all of the corn being sold at the roadside stalls, but did you know that there are lots of fun activities revolving around corn throughout the Fraser Valley?
The Chilliwack Corn Maze and Agassiz Fall Fair and Corn Festival never cease to amaze the event goers. After a year of absence, they will be sure to have lots of exciting, new things in store!
The Chilliwack Corn Maze is entering its 23rd season!
This year the Chilliwack Corn Maze features “The Boy Who Spoke to the Earth” as a walking storyboard. With the mountain and trees built in the middle and the word ‘Wander’ on the south side of the maze, you are encouraged to go on a journey and get lost in the maze with your friends and family. Yes, even your furry friends are welcome to join your journey through the maze.
Be sure to purchase your tickets before making your way over, as the number of people entering the maze will be limited.
Adult – $14.50 (ages 15+) Kids – $12.50 (ages 3-14) Seniors – $12.50 (65+) 2 yrs and under – Free Pets – Free (friendly pets are welcome on a leash)
You’ll see corn sales everywhere you go in Chilliwack. If you want a unique experience, or are just looking for a convenient way to purchase your corn, Sparkes Corn Barn has drive through corn sales in multiple locations. You can get fresh corn, picked the same day, brought straight to your car.
The Agassiz Fall Fair and Corn Festival is an all encompassing event offering rides, games, festival food and of course CORN! It runs through September 17th to 18th. One of the main attractions of the event is the corn and chicken barbecue. People gather from all around BC to taste the juicy corn farmed right here in the Fraser Valley.
Each year, a corn King or Queen is crowned at the festival. They are selected by judges from Agassiz Research and Development Centre based on the quality of their corn fields.
Be sure to go watch the corn experts be crowned and taste the best corn BC has to offer.
Whether you’re tired of the heat and sun, or you’re looking for more of it, there are so many opportunities for getaways around Chilliwack this summer!
Here are a few fun activities for the nature lovers amongst us, food and drinks spots for the foodies, and more!

With movie theatres, museums, art galleries and so much more now open for business and all within walking distance of downtown hotels, you’re guaranteed a fun getaway to enjoy the art, culture, and culinary scene of Vancouver.
If it’s been a while since you’ve spent time in the city, there are lots of changes - hit up a few of the Breweries in East Vancouver, where many have patios to enjoy a beer in the sun. You can even get the seabus to North Vancouver and enjoy the new Shipyards district, all while taking in the view of downtown from the other side of the water.
4.Mount Baker
Heather Meadows and Artist Point Trail by All Trails
Once the border opens up to Canadians, be sure to check out the beautiful scenery Mount Baker has to offer.
While visiting the area, a must-do is to visit Artist Point, one of the most breathtaking views of the volcano. Located at the very end of Mount Baker Highway, watching over Mount Baker on the southwest side while on the other side gazing over the beautiful North Cascades Mountain Range and Mount Shuksan.
Just a couple of steps away from the parking lot, Nooksack Falls trail is accessible for people of all skill levels. Once you get there you will be amazed by the fast-moving body of water.
If you’re looking for a more challenging activity with a high reward value, Chain Lakes Loop should be your priority. It is considered a moderate hike, 10.5 km in length, with a 555 metre elevation. This trail has many different access points so you can choose where you want to start the hike. Don’t want to do the whole thing? No problem, you can take any route you’d like and walk back to your starting point.
