Welcome To Island Craft
Where we showcase the best of Vancouver Island.
Island Craft is a new series of events and experiences that serve to highlight just how incredible our local craft scene is here on Vancouver Island.
We’re organized and hosted by The Strath – a local family owned Vancouver Island business since 1954.
The Winter Festival
Celebrate Vancouver Island with over 60 local beers, ciders & spirits!
The family day weekend is where it all began. Back in 2009 we launched the “Strathcona Beer Fest” which ran annually until 2020. It’s now evolved into this seasonal series of “Island Craft Festivals” – of which this will be our second edition!
What can you expect? A bevy of craft bevies from Vancouver Island producers, with a wintery twist. Dark beers, spiced ciders, and local whiskies perhaps? Well, you’ll just have to wait and see!
Keep an eye on this page, as we’ll add even more confirmed participants soon. And follow us on Instagram at @islandcraftca for up-to-date news.
How Our Festivals Work
What to expect when you arrive.
The festival will be held at The Sticky Wicket, 919 Douglas St Victoria. Our 20+ local craft vendors will be spread across the brand-new Wicket Hall and the Clubhouse.
Once you’ve booked online, you’ll be sent digital tickets via email. You can simply show us the QR code on your phone at the door, or if you’re old-school print it out! Once you arrive you’ll be given a sample cup and some tokens to start you off.
Drink tokens can be used towards 4oz samples of beer or cider*, ½oz of spirit. And food tokens can be used towards some fabulous appies by our talented kitchen. More tokens will be available at the event for $2.50 each.
* some beer or cider may be less than 4oz pours based on abv. Unredeemed tokens hold no cash value.
