The Downtown Victoria Buskers Festival is a free six-day family friendly community festival. Starting Tuesday, July 11 until Sunday, July 16, Victoria will become a hub of busking talent with performers coming from far and wide – with a good dose of some home-grown local talent thrown in!

Dotted around the downtown core will be “Pitch Stop” pop-up locations where buskers will entertain and inspire.

Pitch Stops across Downtown Victoria include

Ship Point (Main Festival Site),

The Bay Centre,

Market Square,

Bastion Square,

Millie’s Lane (opposite Agrius Restaurant) & CRD Square.

The Downtown Victoria Buskers Festival is committed to being a low impact festival. Full recycling, water refill stations, and bike parking will be available at our main Ship Point Pitch Stop. Help us create green power by jumping on the bike powered sound system at the Market Square pitch stop – helmets not required!

Down at Ship Point, you will not only get to enjoy world-class entertainment and iconic water views but also enjoy some delicious food from some top-notch local food trucks; Greek on The Street, Indecent Risotto, L’Authetique and Puerto Vallarta Amigos Mexican Food with Driftwood Brewery and Lemon Heaven serving up some delightful summer beverages.

The Downtown Victoria Buskers Festival is presented by the Downtown Victoria Business Association along with supporting partners Tourism Victoria, Greater Victoria Harbour Agency, and the Hotel Association of Greater Victoria. There is still time to show your support for this great community festival. Contact Ian Piears, Cultural Outreach Manager, [email protected]  for more information.
