The second annual Victoria Paddlefest is a family event focused on education, fun, and safety on the water. This exciting one-day event hosts on-water courses and demonstrations and informative land-based seminars for beginner, intermediate, and advanced kayakers.

Throughout the day there will be demonstrations by expert kayakers and canoeists. Everyone is welcome to test drive any of the demo canoes or kayaks available from our exhibitors.

Admission & Seminars: Free

On-water courses: Free, but space is limited.

Location: The beach at Gyro Park is a short distance from Cadboro Bay Village.

Members can pre-register starting May 15 at the Victoria store. We will also have on-site registration on the day of the event, but for safety reasons we need to limit the number of participants for on-water workshops. We recommend pre-registering to ensure you'll be able to participate in the sessions best for you.
