With many craft markets, special events and holiday-themed performances happening on this particular weekend, you won’t need much convincing to hop on the next ferry and book your seats for these fun and great holiday events!  

Nutcracker with Ukrainian Shumka Dancers and the Victoria Symphony

Although there are many different productions of The Nutcracker with many varied interpretations of the story and choreographic arrangements, there is one resounding message of love and peace. This year, the story of the Nutcracker is being told with the Ukrainian Shumka Dancers and the Victoria Symphony. Shumka Nutcracker is the perfect blend of grace and lyricism of classical movement combined with the strength and power of Ukrainian folk dance. This retelling of the classic tale of Clara and her dream Prince will be showing at the Royal Theater (805 Broughton Street, Victoria) from November 29th to December 1st. Tickets range from $49 - $105.
