Autumn harvest activities in British Columbia have transitioned from community-focused festivals to specific agricultural marketing initiatives.

Initial celebrations included various regional festivals, such as the Taste of Abby Fall Festival in Abbotsford, which featured farm-to-table dinners and cider tastings, and the Harvest Festival in Port Moody, which offered vendor markets and pumpkin carving. 

Following these community events, the focus shifted toward promoting local produce. The BC Fruit Growers Association, in partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture and Food, launched the ‘Fresh BC Apples’ campaign. This initiative, running through mid-November, highlights local varieties like Ambrosia, Spartan, and Sunpunch to meet the demand for locally grown produce.
