Chilliwack Sunflower Festival transforms into Harrison Sunflower Festival later this month
AGASSIZ — The picturesque landscapes of British Columbia’s Fraser Valley are about to witness the bloom of a new chapter in agritourism. The pioneering Onos family, renowned for their innovative flower festivals, has transplanted their much-loved Chilliwack Sunflower Festival to a new location in Agassiz, near Harrison Hot Springs. Renamed the Harrison Sunflower Festival, the event is scheduled to open to the public on August 22 this year, although the exact date is contingent on the bloom stage.
The family’s new farm, which is overlooked by the majestic Mount Cheam, is set to embrace flower enthusiasts and photography enthusiasts alike. Covering acres of sun-soaked land, the Harrison Sunflower Festival will span approximately four weeks. Visitors will be able to navigate three-kilometers of pathways through 20 acres of sunflowers, summer flowers, and a field of barley.
