As a bustling, growing community, Abbotsford has no shortage of things to see, do and experience. The trick – until now – has been where to get all the intel in once convenient place.

Enter Go! Abbotsford, a brand new events calendar hosted by Tourism Abbotsford and developed in partnership with the City of Abbotsford.

"It's the go-to events calendar for what's going on in Abbotsford," explains Clare Seeley, Executive Director Tourism Abbotsford. "You'll find everything from music and festivals to sporting events and even our brewery and winery events."

Beyond locals, visitors will also find tips to help plan their visit, and Abbotsford's accommodation partners will find lots to share with guests, from longstanding Signature Events to new favourites. Events can also be filtered by type and location.

Have an idea for a fabulous new event for the region? You'll also find a wealth of resources for organizers, including the Arts and Events Organizer Guide and an easy-to-use submission form to add your event to the Go! calendar.
