A huge cranberry festival returns to Metro Vancouver on Thanksgiving weekend

A Thanksgiving tradition that has spanned nearly three decades is making its highly anticipated return to Fort Langley this weekend.

A large turnout is expected as an estimated 35,000 guests attend the cranberry celebration each year. And there are lots of activities for everyone to enjoy throughout the day.

There will also be more than 20 food vendors on-site, ready to make your mouth water. Treat yourself to Big Red’s Poutine, Old Country Pierogie, J’s Disco Dogs, and more.

You’ll want to spend a full day at the fest, as there will be a full lineup of live entertainment to check out. And, of course, expect plenty of fresh local cranberries available for purchase, rain or shine!
