The Cascade
Fraser Valley summer culture guide
A menagerie of markets, music, and museums
Reading time: 5 mins
Growing up in North Delta, I was a short bus and skytrain ride away from downtown Vancouver, so I would spend all my free summer days there, taking in the myriad of culture events that seemed to be happening constantly in the bustling metropolis. When I moved to Abbotsford in 2019, I would lament the lack of culture in the Fraser Valley, not knowing about the vibrant art and music scene that exists here. We cannot claim there is no culture in the Valley, just as we cannot claim there is no community at UFV. There are plenty of cultural events to take part in if you choose to get involved. So, have fun taking in all the hard work Fraser Valley artists, curators, and event organizers have contributed to our community.
