Watch Victoria’s Inner Harbour light up with holiday magic this December

Share

The holiday magic is back and you can see Victoria’s Inner Harbour sparkle with twinkly lights! 

On Thursday, December 4th, at 5 p.m., join the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority (GVHA) for the annual Harbour Holiday Lights. 

This free, family-friendly event features hot chocolate, cookies, and an artisan market to help you out with any last minute Christmas shopping.

And the best part? Santa Claus is coming to town!

Watch Santa arrive in style– by boat–at 6 p.m., where he’ll be around to take free photos with anyone who wants one! 

And who wouldn’t want a photo with the jolliest guy in town?

You can also catch the GVHA’s festive Orca a few days earlier in the 43rd Peninsula Co-op Santa Claus Parade on Saturday, November 29th.

Bundle up and head to Victoria’s Inner Harbour–Lower Causeway and Ship Point Pier–for a festive evening of lights, laughter, and holiday cheer by the water!
