Chilliwack Sunflower Experience

When: Mid-August to Labour Day
Where: 41310 Yale Road (entrance off Royalwood Drive)
Tickets: Available online starting August 7, 2020. Ticket prices vary; children two and under are admitted free.

This year, in order to ensure everyone’s health and safety, the usual components of the festival have been reimagined. While there may not be a formal festival in 2020, festival presenters Tulips of the Valley are pleased to bring you the Chilliwack Sunflower Experience, offering plenty of safe, family-friendly ways to see the sunflowers — and take some cherished memories (as well as your own sunflowers) home with you. 

The fields will be alive with 25 different varieties of sunflowers, and more than 50 varieties of dahlias. Plus, this year the team has planted an array of colourful gladiolas. From mid-August to Labour Day, roam more than three kilometres of pathways throughout the fields. Strict social-distancing guidelines will be in place for you and your loved ones’ peace of mind, including:

  • the fields’ capacity will be limited to 25%
  • directional pathways that are 3 to 5 metres wide
  • hand-sanitizing stations and safety notices placed where needed
  • staff will be sanitizing high-touch areas throughout the day
  • tickets will be sold online only, per one-hour block
  • limited hands-on photo-op props
  • no playground, picnic tables or lawn games this year

In addition to the breathtaking flower fields, guests can expect freshly cut flowers and local Chilliwack corn for sale. Cool off with an individually wrapped frozen treat or enjoy a delicious meal to-go from a food truck (located in the parking lot, off the fields) or a local Chilliwack eatery.

Tickets for the Chilliwack Sunflower Experience go on sale Friday, August 7. Please note that due to this summer’s unusually chilly weather, Tulips of the Valley can’t yet provide an official opening date, but mid-August is the aim. Keep an eye on Facebook for updates.
