One of Victoria’s best foodie events is just around the corner, and this year’s edition promises to be bigger and better than ever!
Dine Around and Stay in Town Victoria officially kicks off on January 24th, running until February 9th.
As a fabulous appetizer to the main event, there will be a dazzling Dine Around gala on Thursday, January 23rd, taking place at Victoria Conference Centre’s Crystal Garden.
This gala event will feature bites and sips from all 59 of Victoria’s restaurants, breweries, and wineries on Dine Around’s list this year, paired perfectly with live entertainment and lots of mixing and mingling.
The gala will also feature activations from Victoria’s own Jason Verners, Four Frames Photo Booth, Bespoke Blossoms, and so much more!
