Victoria-based JAXXEE, will bring powerhouse vocals and bold songwriting, while Tk The Artist amps up the stage with genre-blending hip-hop that’s both personal and high energy. The day opens with a welcome from the lək̓ʷəŋən Traditional Dancers, followed by performances from REACH!, Bagatelle and Victoria’s youth poet laureate Shauntelle / Huupʔaqsa / TSAYŁE Dick-Charleson. Host and emcee DJ Boitano will keep the energy going throughout the day. A busking showcase at Ship Point will feature a local performers stage, celebrating homegrown talent from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Food trucks and activities for all ages will fill the Inner Harbour, leading up to a spectacular fireworks display to close the night.
