There will be a Strawberry Moon over Vancouver Island tonight

Look to the skies in Victoria on Wednesday evening and you’ll see a sight that’s oh so sweet: the strawberry moon!

The first full moon of June is supposedly named for how it marks the beginning of strawberry harvesting season.

According to timeanddate.com, the strawberry moon will rise over Victoria at 8:55 p.m. and set at 5:49 a.m.
