Lantern festival lights up Esquimalt this weekendEsquimalt Lantern Festival, one of the most popular annual events in the township, runs for two days this week, with everything from music and lanterns to puppets and interactive art installations spread throughout Gorge Park & Pavilion.

The free all-ages event gets underway Thursday at 5:30 p.m. with a by-donation lantern making workshop, setting the stage for the next day's main event.

A pre-sunset gathering kicks off the Friday schedule at 5:30 p.m., with live music, face paint, food vendors, and giant puppets joining the Nikkei Cultural Society, which will demonstrate how attendees can add a Japanese symbol to their lanterns. That is followed by a musical performance at 6:45, leading along the water to the beach in a procession of lanterns and light.

The park is open at 7:30 p.m., and will feature activities that include an Enchanted Forest, Magical Gardens, and Mystical Beach. Local musician Brooke Maxwell will lead Happy Cat Karaoke Choir at 8 p.m., with the event winding down at 10 p.m.

Victoria Watcher posted topic Glitch Bar and Games Room

lpoutine,

Victoria Watcher has just posted a new topic entitled "Glitch Bar and Games Room" in forum "Victoria Pubs, Bars and 19+ Venues".

----------------------------------------------------------------------
A former Vancouver staple could be making its way to downtown Victoria.

Glitch Bar and Games Room is seeking a new liquor primary licence for 759 Yates St., the former home of Yates Street Taphouse, which closed in May 2023.

The notice of application, posted on the door of the building, proposes a venue with a 275-person capacity and licensed hours from 9 a.m. to 2 a.m., daily.
The location has been empty for more than two years, leaving a prime downtown spot open for a new business.

Victoria city council is now inviting written feedback from property owners and occupants in the area, with comments being accepted until Sept. 29, 2025.

Victoria Watcher posted topic Free little libraries

lpoutine,

Victoria Watcher has just posted a new topic entitled "Free little libraries" in forum "Arts, Culture and Entertainment".

----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Greater Victoria Placemaking Network (GVPN) invites people from across the region to celebrate the charm of little free libraries (LFL) by sharing their favourite real-life stories about them.
The call for stories is part of the lead-up to the network's 1,000 Little Free Library Festival, a free community event happening Saturday, Sept. 20, from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Oaklands Community Centre (2827 Belmont Ave.).
Little free libraries are little book boxes that operate on the principle of "leave a book, take a book." LFLs come in all shapes and sizes and can be found throughout the region. While most share books, there is a growing number of LFLs that share plants, seeds, toys, yarn, household items, board games, puzzles, art supplies, art, food and more.
Since 2017, the GVPN has been running the Pocket Places Project, which maps, promotes, stocks and helps build LFLs across the Capital Regional District (CRD).
To date, the project has delivered more than 128,000 books to LFLs across the CRD, mapped out more than 1,000 LFLs and helped set up more than 135 LFLs.
"Whenever I talk to someone about little free libraries, they always have a story to share," said Teale Phelps Bondaroff, volunteer lead of the project, in a release.

Saw this from a friend today.

According to their socials, they are another Vancouver transplant. Last I saw, the Yates St spot rent is upwards of 16k a month... Good luck, not too mention a staffing for a 275 person capacity :)
