Agassiz Street Market

Got a love for classic cars? Agassiz’s annual Street Meet might be the place for you. Organized by the Agassiz-Harrison Lion’s Club, the car show displays some of the community’s best antique, collector, modified and restored cars and trucks. Usually taking place in Pioneer Park each July each year, the Street Meet is a great place to enjoy the camaraderie and entertainment of a small town.

Harrison Hot Springs Water Park

Need a place to cool off an a hot summer day? The Harrison Hot Springs Water Park is a floating park on Harrison Lake that includes a number of water slides, swings and even a teeter-totter. The park is operated by Harrison Watersports, who also offer Seadoo rentals, bumper boats and more.

The Old Cemetery

Nowhere else in Agassiz will you get a better sense of the town’s history than at the Old Cemetery. Located off Limbert Road in Agassiz, the cemetery climbs up the side of one of the local mountains. The steps up, although steep, offer a glimpse into Agassiz’s past. And when you finally reach the top, you can stand next to the grave of the Agassiz family, and look over the community they helped found.
