There are three different fireworks shows happening around Victoria this long weekend

August long weekend is fast approaching—and you know what that means, Victoria!

That’s right, fireworks! From the Inner Harbour downtown to Wilson’s Group Stadium after a HarbourCats game, there are a couple of great spots to take in the show.

Don’t forget about the iconic fireworks display at Butchart Gardens, which happens every Saturday throughout the summer!

Here’s a quick list of firework displays happening in and around Victoria this August long weekend:

Butchart Gardens

Catch one of this season’s spectacular Butchart Gardens fireworks shows, which occurs every Saturday (weather permitting) and is included in your general admission ticket.

Described as a “one-of-a-kind, world class show”, attendees will be treated to original aerial and ground firework displays designed and choreographed to music by the Butchart’s great-grandson, Christopher Ross.

Bring a blanket or chair, get cozy, and get ready for an awe-inspiring evening!

Symphony SPLASH!

Symphony SPLASH  takes place on August 2nd and 3rd this year, and will commemorate the Victoria Symphony’s 85th year as an organization.
