A four-day festival celebrating Vancouver Island’s design community is taking place across Victoria from April 30th to May 3rd.
Design Victoria aims to bring together the region’s creative community while highlighting the value of good design through a series of curated experiences throughout the city.
Throughout the festival, participants can explore special installations, exhibitions, events, open houses, tours, workshops and more, along with the official launch party.
Launched in 2023, Design Victoria was met with overwhelming enthusiasm as the first festival dedicated to celebrating Greater Victoria’s growing design community.
The festival kicks off with a launch party on Thursday, April 30th from 6 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. at Cantu Bathrooms & Hardware, featuring a custom-built bar, DJ booth, outdoor seating lounge plus wine from Stoneboat Vineyards and beer from Herald Street Brewery.
Tickets are $118 per person.
The multi-day schedule starts earlier on the same day, with programming including Rewilding Douglas Street, Meeting Point, Aryze News Café and The Furniture of Peter Neve Cotton.
Many of the listed events are free and open to the public, with locations spanning across Victoria, including The Vault Gallery, Open Space Gallery and Kwench.
In between events, visitors can stop by the Design Victoria Hub at the Rotunda for tips on how to make the most of the festival.
