(Abbotsford, BC) — Abbotsford’s fifth annual Taste of Abby Fall Festival returns September 18–27 with ten days of seasonal flavours and vibrant agritourism experiences. Following the winter launch of Taste Around Abby, Taste of Abby returns to where it began this fall, highlighting Abbotsford’s rich harvest and the faces behind it.

“What started as showcasing Abbotsford’s fall harvest has grown into a year-round celebration of the farms, producers, restaurants, and experiences that make our community special. There’s always something growing, being harvested, made, or shared, and Taste of Abby helps connect people to the local places, flavours, and stories that bring our community to life. It’s all part of the authenticity and small-town charm that can feel like stepping onto the set of a Hallmark movie,” says Clare Seeley, Executive Director of Tourism Abbotsford.

The festival puts the season’s abundance at the forefront, from fresh produce and autumn florals to limited-edition craft wine, beer and cider releases. The Night Market launches the celebration on September 18 at Jubilee Park in Downtown Abbotsford with restaurants and food trucks serving a diverse menu of seasonal fare. The event will also recognize agricultural leaders with the Food and Farm Awards, presented by Envision Financial at 5:45 p.m.

From September 19 to 27, activities span the region, inviting visitors to participate in new events: explore The Bun Run, a self-guided pastry trail, compete in the Cornhole Classic, pick florals fresh from the fields and gather for longtable meals, participate in seasonal cooking classes, and join a modern take on the pub crawl, sampling flights along the way.
