VICTORIA SKA FESTIVAL

Admit it. You like ska. Maybe you even LOVE ska.
Ska might not be the coolest sound around these days, but there’s something about those jumpy rhythms, the infectious upstrokes and those shining brass that makes ska absolutely undeniable. That sound has found a home in the Victoria Ska and Reggae Festival, taking place June 20-24 at various venues throughout the city.

Featuring acts like The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Ozomatli, The Western Standard Time Ska Orchestra, and reggae artist Freddie McGregor (among many, many others), this is your chance to brush out your white patent leather shoes, suspenders two-tone suit and dance to some undeniably FUN music.
It’s a great time every year. Get over yourself and get into some ska.
