Victoria is not lacking in arts and culture offerings, nor does it struggle to attract festivals — especially at this time of year. It’s brimming with both June through September.

 

When the organizers of Folktoria founded the festival in 2018, it was a means of celebrating that rich history in the area. Produced by the Greater Victoria Folk Festival Society, Folktoria resembles the early editions of the Inter-Cultural Association’s Folkfest, which was founded in 1971 and was once Victoria’s longest-running annual event and largest multi-cultural arts festival.

 

Folkfest came to an end in 2006, and was never officially replaced. But those who run Folktoria, a free multi-day event aimed at spotlighting myriad cultures in our community, want to mirror its legacy. “We loved the spirit of that festival,” said organizer Sonia Grewal.
