HISTORY

The Cranberry Fesitval is held each year on the Saturday before Thanksgiving. The next Cranberry Festival is October 7^th, 2023.

This grassroots event was supported by the local community and, with its success, has grown to become a much loved annual event, celebrating and recognizing the cranberry’s role in our local history going back thousands of years.

While celebrating the region’s history and tradition, with the Cranberry Festival, we want to create a great day out, support local businesses and vendors, entertain and bring the community and visitors together in the heart of Fort Langley.
