Did someone say happy hour?
With the holidays in full swing and the city already looking merry and bright, stopping by downtown Victoria to finish shopping, grab a bite to eat and visit a twinkling light display seems like a no-brainer!
Downtown Victoria’s Lights of Wonder has officially illuminated Centennial Square, and if you’re planning on visiting the free attraction anytime soon, why not make a night of it?
The massive light display is open to the public at 4 p.m. each day, giving you enough time to grab your favourite people and hit up one of the city’s many happy hours before you tour the twinkling lights.
And we want to help you on our merry way, as we’ve partnered with the DVBA to give away a $100 gift card to a Downtown Victoria business of your choice!
