Eat Here Now: Victoria Harvest Fest

Eat Here Now: Victoria Harvest Festival is an event organized by the Victoria Downtown Public Market Society in support of the re-establishment of a year-round, indoor local produce public market for downtown Victoria. The society includes members representating FoodRoots, Homegrown Collective, Lifecycles, Victoria City Council, CR-Fair, Ottavio’s and many other organizations and businesses who believe that the return of a permanent public market downtown is vital for a healthy local food system and community.

Eat Here Now is a free, family-friendly festival featuring some of the best farmers, fishers, butchers, bakers, processors and restaurants in the region. To celebrate the craft of our food producers, there will be live music from local performers, farm animal viewing, a corn boil, a wild salmon roast and local restaurants demonstrating how they make the best use of regional produce and value-added food products.
