I love to shop. Looks like some good places to go.
You could do one a day through the month of December and probably not see them all.
I had no idea there were so many Christmas markets in Victoria! Looks like I will have to take a trip to the island this winter 🙂
This is such a helpful post! Thank you for taking the time to gather all these events together in one helpful place. I wish I could visit Victoria for Christmas!
There is also Christmas in the Manager at the Saanich fair this weekend Nov 26 and 27 from 10 to 5 pm
