Summer is one of the best times to explore British Columbia’s beautiful Fraser Valley. From hiking scenic trails and visiting local wineries to attending festivals and family attractions, there’s no shortage of ways to spend a sunny weekend. Whether you’re planning a family vacation, a romantic getaway, or a business trip with some extra sightseeing, packing the right essentials—and choosing the right hotel, can make your trip much more enjoyable.
At Best Western Plus Country Meadows, we welcome travelers throughout the summer who are looking for comfortable accommodations, convenient access to local attractions, and a relaxing place to unwind after a busy day. Before you hit the road, here’s everything you’ll want to pack for your Fraser Valley adventure.
Dress for Warm Days and Cool Evenings
Summer temperatures in the Fraser Valley are generally warm and comfortable, but evenings can cool down, especially after the sun sets.
Pack lightweight clothing such as:
- T-shirts and breathable tops
- Shorts or comfortable pants
- A light sweater or jacket for the evening
- Comfortable walking shoes or hiking footwear
Having layers gives you flexibility whether you’re enjoying an afternoon at a winery or taking an evening stroll through one of the area’s beautiful parks.
Don’t Forget Your Outdoor Essentials
Many visitors spend their summer exploring everything the Fraser Valley has to offer. If you plan on visiting local parks, gardens, or outdoor events, it’s worth packing a few extras.
Consider bringing:
- Sunglasses
- Sunscreen
- A reusable water bottle
- A hat for sunny afternoons
- A small backpack for day trips
If you’re planning to visit Aldergrove Regional Park, local wineries, or family attractions like the Greater Vancouver Zoo, these simple items will help you stay comfortable throughout the day.
Pack for Local Events and Festivals
Summer is one of the busiest seasons for events across Abbotsford and Langley. Visitors often travel to the area for sporting tournaments, agricultural fairs, community festivals, concerts, and events at the Langley Events Centre or Tradex.
If you’re attending an event, consider packing:
- Casual outfits for daytime activities
- Slightly dressier clothes for dinners or evening events
- Comfortable footwear for walking around event grounds
- A portable phone charger for long days out
Booking your hotel early is also a smart idea during the summer, as accommodations near popular venues can fill quickly.
Bring Your Swimsuit
One item many travelers forget? A swimsuit.
After spending the day outdoors, there’s nothing better than returning to the hotel for a relaxing swim. At Best Western Plus Country Meadows, guests can enjoy our indoor swimming pool regardless of the weather.
Families especially appreciate having a built-in activity for the kids after a day of sightseeing, while couples and solo travelers enjoy the chance to unwind before dinner.
