VIDEO: Abbotsford Agrifair returns as in-person event

Event runs July 30 to Aug. 1 with theme Driving to Entertain You

Abbotsford’s annual Agrifair opened Friday afternoon (July 30) and continues through Sunday.

This year is a limited in-person event after the 2020 version was held as a drive-thru due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This year’s event was also initially planned as a drive-thru, but organizers announced in early July, after pandemic restrictions were lifted, that it would return almost to normal.

The theme is Driving to Entertain You. Gates are open from 1 to 9 p.m. and, although no more tickets are available, people are encouraged to watch the website for any cancellations. Tickets are not offered at the gate.

Highlights of this year’s Agrifair include BC DeLorean with some favourite TV and film vehicles, Curbside Circus with their stilt and juggling performances throughout the grounds, and magician Gary Savard.
