About the festival

Downtown Chilliwack, turned into an outdoor gallery

The Chilliwack Mural Festival is a public art event designed to turn downtown Chilliwack into an outdoor gallery you can enjoy year-round. During Mural Fest, the streets become a celebration of art, music, and community — built to reflect the local community, bring diverse artists to the downtown core, and make it easy for everyone to access art and performances.

It's a party that celebrates art, and art takes many forms: enjoy music, dancing, family-friendly fun, and live performances. Visit the vendor booths, talk to the artists, learn about the Chilliwack Community Arts Council, and more.
