Simple geography has made Abbotsford the retail and shopping hub of the Fraser Valley, so when in town your motto should be…let's go shopping! Whether you are looking for the latest fashions or the best bargains, an original work of art by a local artisan or the latest high tech gadgets, Abbotsford is a complete shopping experience.
Ultra modern shops and shopping centers are the rage along the City's urban centre of South Fraser Way. Box stores and major chains are the primary focus on Sumas Way, which is literally only seconds from the US border crossing. Historic Downtown Abbotsford is home to specialty boutiques and offers the perfect location to buy something uniquely "Abbotsford" amidst the history and character of old downtown.
Some of Abbotsford's most interesting shopping experiences don't even need a store. Every Sunday, Abbotsford is home to one of the area's largest flea market and swap meet. Saturday mornings from May to October provides an entertaining opportunity to explore the sights, sounds and smells of the Abbotsford Farm & Country Market.
Abbotsford is one of Canada's most ethnically diverse communities. This diversity is most noticeable in our shops and shopping areas. It is easy to find fashions and styles from many different cultures. Best of all you can meet and learn more about the people that live in Abbotsford and now call Canada home.
Maybe our best and most unique shopping experiences happen at some of our more than 1,100 local farms. Our popular Circle Farm Tour gives visitors to Abbotsford the opportunity to explore many local agricultural operations, not only to learn more about where food comes from, but to purchase a wide variety of products direct from the grower. Fresh strawberries, cold climate wine, organic produce, honey, chocolate covered cranberries and some of the best home made ice cream you will ever find, can all be added to your shopping list.
