ArtisTree at Government House

ArtisTree, the whimsical FREE celebration of all things creativity, returns to the grounds of Government House on Saturday, July 26, and Sunday, July 27. Thousands of art-lovers are expected to browse handmade goods from local makers and artisans, sample delicious food and treats, and take in a full lineup of live music at the Bandshell.

Please note that due to the size and scale of ArtisTree, there will be no onsite parking available on Saturday and Sunday, with the exception of limited access for those with accessibility requirements. On Friday, July 25, parking will be available, but expect delays as vendors will be on the grounds getting set up for the event.

For those wishing to check out ArtisTree, biking, walking or taking public transit are the best ways to come by. Visitors are reminded to respect our neighbours and all resident-only parking bylaws. Buses on Victoria Regional Transit routes 11 and 14 stop on Fort Street at Joan Crescent, three blocks from Government House, and a FREE shuttle through ArtisTree is available:
