It’s always an adventure when I travel to Nanaimo to preview some of their awesome festivals. I came back with a pirate doll, a box of Lucky Charms, and a bottle of local craft beer — all totally relevant to what I was researching (including a wee dram of whiskey in my belly). I was sent across the Salish Sea to learn about Festival Nanaimo has planned from St Patrick’s Day to Spring Break.

Festival Nanaimo

From Celtic tunes and local blues, to whiskey tastings benefitting the dance society at Wee Tipple, and craft beer supporting the BC SPCA at Hops and Hounds. I love the mashup of events that creative minds at Festival Nanaimo and their partners have come up with. There’s a lot going on at the Port Theatre, in the heart of Downtown Nanaimo, like the Symphony & Soundbites. There you can have appies and enjoy a live performance — or come for the later show and have dessert with a side of Mozart.
