St. Patricks’ day, figure skating and more in Victoria this March!

ST. PATRICK’S DAY WHISKEY HOOLEY

If you’re anything like me, you didn’t already know what a “hooley” is; turns out, a hooley is a party featuring traditional music, dance, and drink! And if on reading that you are ON BOARD, you are DEFINITELY like me.

Well, a traditional Irish Hooley is coming to the Yates Street Tap House on March 11! With over 40 whiskeys to taste, a traditional Irish band (Cookeilidh Celtic Band), table magic by Jordan Blaikie and The King of Magic, and prizes for the best costume!

Tickets entitle you to a dram of each and every whiskey on offer, a commemorative tasting glass, and some lessons on what makes a great whiskey. Don’t sleep on buying tickets, though – you need to get them in advance!
 

ST PATRICK’S FREE FAMILY DAY

Looking for fun, cost-effective things to do with your family? Come to Victoria for some kid-friendly events that will create lasting memories while going easy on your pocketbook! St. Patrick’s day is a fun way to celebrate the cultural history of Ireland and its unique contributions to world culture.  On March 17, bring the kids to Market Square for face painting, a bouncy castle, live music and more! Details here.
 

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST ON ICE

Looking for something a little more spectacular? Then come to the Archie Browning Sports Centre on March 24 and 25 for one of three showings of Beauty and The Beast Ice! Featuring the 2010 Olympic Skater Vaughan Chipeur as the Beast, this one of a kind adaptation has all the fun of the timeless tale with all the grace of figure skating! This is a MUST-SEE if your family caught Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir fever at this year’s Winter Olympics! Tickets are available here.

Taking the family for a trip? Stay at the Days Inn Victoria on the Harbour. We’re a short walk to many of Victoria’s most exciting locales like the Royal BC Museum, Miniature World and The Crystal Garden! We’re also pet-friendly, so the WHOLE family can come for the trip. Book your room today for the vacation of a lifetime!
