If you’re looking to celebrate Halloween over the weekend, this is one Franken-tastic event you won’t want to miss!
This Sunday, October 28th, kick off your Halloween celebrations with ‘Wicked Victoria’ – a fun, free, family-friendly event in the heart of downtown Victoria.
Back for their fourth year in town, Wicked Victoria will be transforming a section Government Street (from Humboldt St. to Yates St.) into a pedestrian-only zone.
The event features live performances, locally sourced food and drinks, two blocks worth of activities for children, and more!
