The Cranberry Festival is a one-day only event kicking off with a pancake breakfast at 8:30am and continues throughout the day with over 100 marketplace vendors lining Glover Road, 16 popular food trucks offering something for everyone, a full schedule of live entertainment and more then 20 teams participating in the Cranberry Festival Regatta. The children's area, stationed at the Fort Langley Community Hall, includes face painters, balloon artists and the Creative Cube, all providing fun for the kids. There are also fun exhibits at the Langley Centennial Museum, BC Farm Museum and the Fort National Historic Site.
And of course, there are copious amounts of fresh local cranberries for attendees to purchase, by the bag full. British Columbia is the third largest producer of cranberries in the world and this festival is one of three in Canada and the only one in our province. Ocean Spray donates approximately 10,000 pounds of the ruby red fruit in which the BC cranberry harvest accounts for roughly 12% of North American’s crop. Also available is everything from cranberry wine, beer, soaps, baking, preserves, dog treats and even cranberry inspired jewelry.
