If the last few weeks of waiting for Taylor’s upcoming concert has consumed you with anticipation, worry not because relief is on the way! Thankfully the Fraser Valley has a handful of Taylor-made experiences that will take you right up to concert day and well beyond! Are you… Ready for it?
We can’t promise you’ll snag a ticket, but there are other ways you can celebrate your devotion to the biggest star on the planet. Let’s take a tour through the different local experiences for Swifties. It may not be the Eras tour, but the sentiment is pretty close!
Langley (Taylor’s Version)
December 1 – Taylor Swift Musical Bingo Night
Test your knowledge of Taylor’s music and maybe even win a prize while you’re at it. If you even know her deeper cuts “All Too Well”, then this is your chance to flex a bit. There will even be a performance by one of Canada’s top Taylor tribute artists, Carrie Dawn!
December 6 – Eras Tour Celebration
For any Swifties who haven’t landed tickets for the concert, there’s no need for any “Bad Blood”, here’s a party where you can meet other fans, listen to music and bond over which album is superior (it’s Red, obviously). While it’s hosted at Dead Frog Brewery, this is a family event where kids can make and swap friendship bracelets and enjoy tasty non-alcoholic drinks.
Abbotsford (Taylor’s Version)
Swiftie Staycation: A Taylor Itinerary
Abbotsford has gone the extra mile for the occasion and put together an entire tour around the city for the ultimate Taylor fans! Dig into the Folklore of each album and lyric as you explore nature, visit Tortured Poet destinations, and generally just have “The Best Day.” And just a quick reminder, if you ARE going to the concert and you’re looking for accommodation, Abbotsford rooms are far cheaper than rooms in downtown Vancouver. Their cozy guest rooms have a “Blank Space”, just write your name and enjoy your stay!
December 5 – Swiftie Scholar: From Lyrics to Lectures: Taylor Swift’s Cultural Impact Unpacked
Swiftie Scholar is an academic event that explores the cultural impact of Taylor Swift through critical lenses like feminism, identity, and media studies. This event offers keynote speakers for Swifties and scholars alike. It’s not just about the music—it’s about using pop culture as a pathway to deeper academic conversations. Whether you’re a student or a fan, join us in person or virtually to experience an educational space that’s as fearless as you are.
December 13 – Taylor Swift Trivia Night at Maan Farms
Enjoy a delicious meal and wine straight from Maan Farms’ winery along with your ticket. There’ll even be themed specialty cocktails available! To top it off, the winning group of each round goes home with a prize! Book now, as seats are limited.

Chilliwack (Taylor’s Version)
Chilliwax Records
With one of the best record collections in the Fraser Valley, Chilliwax will keep you well-stocked with all of Taylor’s albums. If you haven’t heard her voice on vinyl, it’s truly like putting on your favourite warm “Cardigan.” Throwing on anything from her classic catalogue is a surefire way to unwind, especially whenever “You Need to Calm Down.”
Sonic Bark
If you’re looking to upgrade your Swiftie “Style”, then look no further. This artist-run print shop will keep you up to date on the Eras dress code. Custom tees, bracelets and stickers, you can deck yourself out with their “Enchanted” threads no matter your plans.
