The Winter Festival Celebrate Vancouver Island with over 60 local beers, ciders & spirits! The family day weekend is where it all began. Back in 2009 we launched the “Strathcona Beer Fest” which ran annually until 2020. It’s now evolved into this seasonal series of “Island Craft Festivals” – of which this will be our second edition! What can you expect? A bevy of craft bevies from Vancouver Island producers, with a wintery twist. Dark beers, spiced ciders, and local whiskies perhaps? Well, you’ll just have to wait and see!
