Seeking an apartment for rent Chilliwack, but worried there won’t be much to do? Fret not! This bustling Fraser Valley city has a vibrant arts and culture scene. Here are just a few of the fun and accessible attractions that life in Chilliwack has to offer:

Chilliwack Cultural Centre

The clue is in the name, and this beautiful centre is the heart of arts and culture activity in this growing city. Chilliwack’s “home for artistic discovery and exploration” has two performance theatres, over 20 music studios and four arts and crafts rooms to explore your creativity or revel in the talents of others.

Learn more about the events continually coming to the Chilliwack Cultural Centre or imagine obtaining a beautiful Chilliwack apartment and riding your bike just a few minutes to take a painting, writing or beading class this Fall. Learn more on the centre’s site.

Chilliwack Museum & Archives

Since 1958, the Chilliwack Museum & Archives has been helping document and preserve life in the city, once known as Chilliwhack, a Halkomelem word for “quieter water.” Chilliwack city, however, has not been a sleepy backwater, as the stories and exhibitions the museum holds can attest. Even the building itself is far from a snore; the gleaming white former City Hall seems to welcome newcomers to downtown, and is reportedly haunted.

Whether you’re a history buff or a would-be ghost hunter, find an apartment for rent Chilliwack and you’ll be able to pay this historic building a visit.

Chilliwack Mural Festival

Featured on Instagram accounts across the Lower Mainland of BC each summer is the Chilliwack Mural Festival, which has been beautifying the walls of downtown Chilliwack since 2020. Featuring artists from across the globe, this celebration of street art enlivens the downtown core and ads multiple splashes of colour to your surroundings if you’re seeking a Chilliwack apartment! Check out the artists featured in 2024.

Chilliwack Independent Film Festival

“Watch films that share the beauty, pain, joy and heartbreak of life,” promises the Chilliwack Independent Film Festival. Each year it features both in-person and virtual screening blocks, film industry events, fireside talks and workshops for filmmakers and aficionados alike. The 8th edition of this festival will feature 10 final teams at the event on November 22nd. Learn more at CIFF.ca.

Chilliwack Symphony Orchestra & Chorus

Locally produced, first class events are promised by the Chilliwack Symphony Orchestra and Chorus. Since 1999, this musical non-profit organization has offered the Fraser Valley professional performances at reasonable prices, making classical music affordable and accessible.
