Event Description
Victoria Symphony announces the return and expansion of its cherished summer concert event, Symphony SPLASH!, in celebration of the organization’s 85th anniversary, at Victoria’s Inner Harbour, August 2 & 3, 2025. Returning after a five-year hiatus, the two-day event will feature four live orchestral performances on the Inner Harbour’s iconic barge stage from Victoria Symphony and The National Youth Orchestra of Canada, with special guest performers: JUNO-nominated Indigenous singer-songwriters Celeigh Cardinal and Shawnee Kish, and BC Hall of Fame percussionist Sal Ferreras and his Latin Jazz Sextet, with Cuban vocalist Adonis Puentes. The free, all-ages event will also offer a plethora of activities throughout the Inner Harbour, including a family zone, community stage performances, and local food and beverage vendors, culminating in a grand final with fireworks on the evening of August 3. For spectators looking for reserved seating, Symphony SPLASH! will offer a limited number of reserved Grandstand seats, located directly across from the B.C. Legislature. Patrons can also pre-purchase picnic boxes from L’Apero Wine and Cheese Bistro for $25 with $5 from each box donated to the Victoria Symphony.
