Experience Live Theatre
The arrival of fall also marks the return of theatre season. This year, Theatre in the Country presents The Spitfire Grill, a musical centred on hope, community, and second chances. Running throughout September, the dinner theatre production combines local talent with an engaging story, making it an ideal evening outing as the weather cools.
Raise a Stein at Oktoberfest
Few celebrations capture the spirit of autumn better than Oktoberfest. Farm Country Brewing’s Oktoberfest: The Sausage Party brings together German food, craft beer, live music, and seasonal festivities in a lively atmosphere. Visitors can enjoy traditional sausages and bratwurst paired with the brewery’s award-winning Oktoberfest Lager while celebrating Bavarian-style traditions.
Honour Truth and Reconciliation
September also offers opportunities for reflection and community connection. Langley City’s annual National Day for Truth and Reconciliation event features educational programming, cultural performances, speakers, and storytelling designed to encourage learning and understanding.
Include the Family Dog
Autumn isn’t just for people. Halloweener Dogs invites visitors and their four-legged companions to enjoy a day of costumes, treats, games, raffles, and photo opportunities. The annual event has become a community favourite for dog lovers looking to celebrate the season with their pets.
Create Something Seasonal
Fall is often associated with creativity, and Langley City offers several hands-on opportunities to embrace that spirit. Visitors can craft custom woodwick candles at the BIPOC Market + Local Marketplace while supporting independent makers from across British Columbia and Canada.
Maker Cube also offers a variety of seasonal workshops, including ceramics, decorative projects, and DIY creations that are perfect for adding a personal touch to Thanksgiving or Halloween celebrations.
Stroll Through Outdoor Art
One of the best ways to enjoy a crisp autumn afternoon is by exploring Langley City’s vibrant Downtown Mural Walk.

Pair the walk with a coffee from Projekt + Blend and you have the perfect recipe for a relaxing fall day.
