Harvest Days at VanDusen 2023
One of Vancouver’s favourite attractions returns with its annual celebration of the gorgeous fall season. VanDusen’s beautiful veggie garden and maze area will be dressed for the occasion with fun photo areas, live entertainment and more.
Harvest Days are the perfect opportunity for memorable photo ops. Take a photo besides the autumn splendor of scarecrows, hay bales, cornstalks or pumpkins.
Bluegrass and old-time musicians will be serenading garden guests 3 times per day. Which means there’s plenty of time to get your boogie on!
There’s entertainment for the kids as well. The hedge maze full of creative and colorful scarecrows will be sure to bring out the giggles. Next, the fall-inspired craft section will let kid’s imagination soar.
Last but not least is the huge 55-acre botanical garden full of stunning nature.
Breathe in the fall air as you meander by sugar maples, ginkgo trees, or bald cypress trees. For a walk bursting with the fall colours of deciduous trees, take the Autumn Stroll.
