Arts & Culture

While the pace of life might be slower here on beautiful Vancouver Island, the Arts and Culture scene of the region is bursting with activity. The magnificence of the landscape has inspired one of the densest gatherings of artists and artisan studios in the province.

And while weekends year-round feature the most activity in music and the performing arts, art galleries and self-guided studio tours can be enjoyed most anytime. Ask at the resort office for a Blue Brochure full of self-guided tours.

If history is a passion, visit the Qualicum Beach Museum complex to begin your exploration of First Nations history, or check out the Craig Heritage Museum in Parksville that tells tales from the lives of the area’s first European settlers and farmers.

Summer is so packed full of performances and festivals, that you’ll never have time to do it all – but that’s okay, we’d love to help you plan a return visit soon! Visit www.oceansidetourism.com for more information on the area's cultural scene.
