The Victoria Fringe Theatre Festival is fast approaching. From August 27 through September 6, Victoria will be inundated with drama, comedy, dance and spoken word companies from around the world. There are to be at least six venues downtown, making it exceptionally convenient for folks traveling via the passenger ferry between the United States and Canada. This is also a good time to book one of our overnight specials in Victoria.
For 23 years, the Victoria Fringe has brought unjuried and uncensored shows to the Pacific Northwest. Prices are reasonable, with Fringe membership being just $5 and tickets $9 or less at the door. True Theater buffs who know one show won’t be enough may want to purchase a 10-show Frequent Fringer pass for just $65.

You will laugh. You will cry. You be astonished and amazed during the Victoria Fringe Theatre Festival. Check out their website to purchase tickets in advance, or be spontaneous and see what is available once you arrive. Either way, the ferry between Port Angeles and Victoria is the way to travel around the Pacific Northwest. Overnight specials in downtown Victoria will help you visit the area and still allow time for the theatre.
Travel between the United States and Canada now requires a passport or enhanced driver’s license.
