Celebrating over four decades as a beloved Victoria tradition, the Dickens Fair brings together more than 60 talented artisans, bakers, brewers, and growers from Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands — all under one cozy roof.
Held at the James Bay Community Centre (140 Oswego Street, Victoria, BC) on Saturday, December 6, 2025, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. you’ll find a wonderfully curated mix of handcrafted and home-grown delights.
