It was a bit smaller than anticipated. The buildings were very picturesque. The stores were extremely expensive. The murals were fantastic. Planter baskets, beautiful! I do not believe we would return. But it was nice.
District 1881 in Chilliwack swept us off our feet. With its storybook streets, charming old-world architecture, and cozy corners perfect for two, it felt like stepping into a romantic movie scene. We wandered hand in hand past boutique shops, paused beneath a bright blue sky surrounded by the well crafted architectures to take a picture or two. The warm, welcoming atmosphere made everything felt magical. It’s the perfect place to chill on this gorgeous weekend — where time slows down and love lingers in the air. An absolute hidden gem.
If you never visit this area, it's well worth you make a trip here. The whole area are nice. It's a good place for taking pictures and stroll around.nThere are good coffee shops and restaurants. The shops are interesting. But the area is not big, you can stroll around for less than a hour.nYou may have a drink or cup of coffee in the patio of the restaurant.
It was nice to spend a few hours here. The neighborhood is truly beautiful, with charming streets and a peaceful atmosphere. I had expected to see a bit more in terms of shops and busy streets, but this area is actually quite small and quiet. Still, its beauty and cozy feel more than make up for the size. It’s a perfect spot for a relaxed stroll, and the well-kept houses and green spaces give it a welcoming vibe. I would love to come back and explore it a little more next time.
District 1881 is a redevelopment project that revitalized the historic Five Corners area in Chilliwack. The name refers to the year 1881, when this part of town became the centre of the community. Since 2018, the area has been transformed with restored heritage buildings, boutique shops, local eateries, and welcoming pedestrian walkways. It is now a charming spot where modern culture meets local history.nnOur visitnnWe started our day at Witchy Boo, a very cool spiritual shop. I wanted to get a tarot card reading but she was fully booked for the next three hours, so that will have to wait until next time.nnRight across the street, we checked out Homemade, a space that features the work of 55 local artisans. They carry everything from handmade goods to locally made food, and there is even a vintage clothing shop upstairs. I picked up some cookies, a brownie, and a beautiful ocean-shaped vase. The pricing was more than fair for the amount of craftsmanship that went into each piece.nnAfter that, we headed to Bow and Stern for happy hour. Oysters were two dollars each and the Fisherman’s selection was fantastic. Not too salty and very meaty.nnSomeone working there suggested we come back during the Christmas season because the entire district lights up. It sounds magical.nnThis was an amazing experience overall, and I honestly cannot believe a place like this exists just an hour away from Vancouver.
