During a visit to Victoria, you could happily spend your time simply taking a tour of all the awesome sights and attractions we have in the city and at other points on the island. Nothing wrong with that whatsoever! However, if you want to see a different side of Victoria, and see why so many people love living and visiting here, then it’s recommended that you check out one of the many events that take place each month. They’re varied, high-quality, and always fun! Coming up in June we have two music festivals and a family-friendly community event for you to enjoy.
