Halloween Ideas and Events in Chilliwack

Chilliwack has a proper Halloween season, and it has for a long time - a working farm that turns itself over to a corn maze and pumpkin patch every autumn, and a haunted attraction that has been running for more than 30 years. Reapers has its 2026 dates posted, so the evening half of the season is genuinely plannable, and the museum, the Cultural Centre and the libraries fill in the rest of the month.

Greendale Acres' corn maze

Greendale Acres at 41905 Yale Road West is a working farm that gives itself over each autumn to a corn maze, a pumpkin patch and a bonfire, and the maze runs with free corn maze tractor rides on weekends. It is the same farm that hosts the Labour Day Summer Send Off Festival. The farm publishes a full Fall season: October 1 to November 1, 2026, open seven days — Monday to Tuesday 2 to 8pm, Wednesday to Friday 2 to 9pm, Saturday 10 to 9, Sunday 10 to 8 — at $17 online or $20 at the door Monday to Friday and $22 online or $25 at the door at weekends and holidays, with two and under and 75 and over free. Three details matter more than the headline: Halloween itself is an early close, 10am to 6pm on Saturday October 31; the Pro-D and Grandparents' Days the farm lists, Friday October 23, are open 10 to 9; and the farm asks you to pre-purchase online to guarantee a weekend slot in October, which is the difference between a stroll and a turn-away. The season closes with a Bonfire Party on Sunday, November 1, 10am to 8pm, with live music from 2 to 6pm. It is straightforwardly family-friendly, with nothing designed to scare anyone.

Greendale is the daytime half of a Chilliwack Halloween and Reapers is the evening half, and they are a short drive apart. Plenty of local families do the maze in the afternoon and the haunted attraction at night, though with children under 10 that is a long day and the evening half is better skipped.

Reapers at Fantasy Farms

Reapers, at Fantasy Farms on Gibson Road, has been running for more than 30 years, with the Reapers Maze of Terror and a Haunted Corn Maze — not a scaled-down kids' version. For 2026 it runs from Friday, October 2 to Saturday, October 31, open Tuesday through Sunday and closed Mondays, with haunt hours of 7 to 9pm on Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday and 7 to 10pm on Friday and Saturday. Tickets are sold through ShowPass ($46 on Saturdays). The operator does not recommend it for children under 12.

Reapers runs Tuesdays through Sundays from October 2 to 31, 2026, and it is not a scaled-down family version - if you have small children, Greendale's maze is the right call and this one is not.

The same property runs Petey's Pumpkin Patch during the day for the non-haunted crowd. It opened on October 3, with admission at $17, $10 for seniors 75 and over, free for two and under, or $65 for a family pass, paid at the door. Many families do the patch in the afternoon with the kids and the haunt at night with the older ones.

More Halloween events in Chilliwack

On Halloween day, the Chilliwack Museum runs A Little Halloween Mischief, a free drop-in from 10am to 4pm at 45820 Spadina Avenue. The Chilliwack Cultural Centre has two Halloween shows: the Art of Halloween costume party for ages 16 and up on Friday, October 30, 6:30 to 10pm ($36), and The Rocky Horror Picture Show on Saturday, October 31 at 2pm ($29).

For younger children, Sardis Library has a Spooktacular Crafternoon on Friday, October 23, 1:30 to 3:30pm, and Chilliwack Library has a Halloween Evening Storytime on Monday, October 26, 6 to 7pm. There is also a free Spooky Fall Market at Evergreen Hall on Saturday, October 24.

Safety and the fireworks bylaw

Chilliwack's Fireworks Regulation Bylaw bans selling, buying, possessing or setting off consumer fireworks and firecrackers at all times; display fireworks need a Fire Department permit. Offenders face fines and confiscation. To report fireworks, call Bylaw at 604-793-2908 (8:30am to 4:30pm) or, after hours, the RCMP non-emergency line at 604-792-4611. There is no city-published trick-or-treat hours or route guide on chilliwack.com, so the usual basics - reflective gear, sticking to well-lit streets, an adult with younger kids, checking treats before they get eaten - are the plan rather than any official curfew.

Plan it like this: Greendale in the afternoon for the maze and the patch, Reapers at night for anyone in the group who actually wants to be frightened, and leave the fireworks at home. That is a full Chilliwack Halloween, and both halves of it are confirmed and running.

What Is Not Happening

The City of Chilliwack does not run its own Halloween event or publish a trick-or-treat hour or route, and consumer fireworks are banned at all times. If you have seen a Halloween listing that is not in this article, check it on the organizer's own site before you go; dates drift year to year.

The basics for the night are the same everywhere: go in a group, carry a light, cross at a crosswalk, and check anything unwrapped before a child eats it.
