Live music, local brews & eats this weekend at V.I.C. Fest

By Bri Wilson

Vicfest-300x225Sunshine, great live music, locally crafted brews, eats and art: sounds to me like the perfect way to spend a Saturday in June (and just the prescription you might need to get over our Stanley Cup Finals loss this week.)

The first Vancouver Island Cultural Festival (V.I.C. Fest) is happening this Saturday, June 18th from 11am - 10pm on the grounds of St. Ann's Academy—right across the street from Parkside!

Listen to local live bands (inlcuding Acres of Lions, Jon & Roy, Quioa and more), sample locally crafted brews and Vancouver Island's finest wines and enjoy eats from Victoria's best food vendors while you check out local art, clothing, jewelery and more.

Are you visiting from out of town or need a place to stay for the night? (There is a beer AND wine garden at this event, after all).

Parkside Victoria Resort & Spa is the official accommodation sponsor and is offering special V.I.C. Fest overnight rates.

When booking online, please use the promo code "VICF". If booking by phone, please call our reservations department toll-free at 1.866.941.4175 and request the "Cultural Festival" rate or rate plan "VICF".
