The holiday season has finally arrived in Victoria, bringing with it a number of festive events and must-see displays, including the Festival of Trees! This annual tradition has been delighting residents and visitors for the last 27 years, and transforms the Bay Centre (located in the downtown core, just minutes away from the Royal Scot) into a forested wonderland of uniquely decorated trees.  The event runs during Centre hours from November 17^th to January 3^rd and gives visitors to the Bay Centre the opportunity to vote on their favourite trees, as well as collecting donations for the BC Children’s Hospital.  This year the money raised will go towards research into childhood diabetes, so if you’re in town, consider stopping by, casting your votes and supporting a good cause while taking in this magical display!

More information can be found at the Bay Centre website or at the BC Children’s Hospital event page.

The 23^rd Annual Truck Light Convoy will be coming to Victoria on December 3^rd 2022! In this holiday event, local businesses decorate trucks of all kinds with the best and brightest light displays imaginable before taking to the roads for a festive tour of the city. This year the convoy will be departing at 5:40 PM from the Breakwater District in James Bay (a short distance from where our hotel is conveniently located along the inner harbor) and will finish almost 3 hours later at the Westshore Parkway.  Not only is this colourful convey fun to watch, but it also raises donations for local food banks, making this annual tradition a delight on multiple levels.
