We're so Stinking Happy!
At the 2025 Stinking Rose Garlic® Festival, we were able to raise $3000 for Chilliwack Community Services, an increase of 50% over 2024! Thank you to everyone who came to the 2025 Festival, and to all our vendors. YOU made it possible!

The team gathered last Friday with Executive Director of CCS, Kate Healey for a cheque presentation, then regrouped for a team "meeting".

We're so excited for 2026, happening the Saturday/Sunday, Sep 19, 20.

It looks like we'll be DOUBLING the size of the event...this is going to be massive! We are already way past the number of vendors that will be on site in 2026, than were there last year.

We listened to your feedback, and have created a larger and even more gorgeous location at Fantasy Farms for all the festivities. We have all your favourite vendors returning, but OMGosh, so many new ones! We'll also be expanding the entertainment and activities onsite.

If you're interested in becoming a vendor we are quickly reaching our new expanded capacity, so please message us.

Stay tuned for our announcement on the Stinking Rose Saturday Night concert lineup, coming soon along with early bird ticket options!

Watch this space, like and follow us to stay up to date on all the info!
