Things to Do in Victoria This Weekend

Here is what is on in Victoria this weekend, Friday through Sunday. Expect markets and festivals, live music and gallery openings, and a good number of free outdoor events around Greater Victoria and the Saanich Peninsula.

We pull the list from venue and community calendars across the region, and we keep it short enough to actually read.
