Ready for a whole week of sunshine?
Besides remembering to file your taxes on time, here are 5 things you can do to round out the month of April with a bang in Victoria:
Bottles for Beaches
On the last day of Earth month, bring all of your refundable beverage containers to the Bottle Depot and the full refund will be donated to Surfrider! Let’s do our part to keep these containers off our beaches and out of the ocean.
- When: 9 a.m. – 12 p.m.
- Where: Any Bottle Depot near you
Tasting Room 1 year Anniversary Party
Join Phillips Brewing & Malting Co. for their 1 year anniversary party on Tuesday night! They’ve got some extra special doughnuts courtesy of Yonni’s Doughnuts for the first 100 people. The resident 100% vinyl DJs Crates of Wrath (Bill Stuart & Dan Reid) will be curating a “community vinyl playlist” too so if you’ve got a record you want to add to the mix bring it on down with your name on it.
