The Rainbow Party
Experience an unforgettable night of music, dance, performance, and celebration at The Rainbow Party during Pride weekend. You’re invited to “Let Your True Colours Shine” by dressing head-to-toe in your favourite colour(s) of the rainbow or simply bringing your brightest, boldest, and most expressive self to the dance floor. Celebrate Pride in a welcoming, high-energy atmosphere at the Fulford Hall on Saturday, July 18.
 
You’ll be entertained by Alma Be, Vivian Vanderpuss, DJ canis loopus, and many other performers.
 
The night kicks off with festival favourite DJ canis loopus, with a musical background spanning multiple genres and instruments. She emphasizes warmth, texture, and a love of nature, showing that music, like us, can be complex without sacrificing fun. Her sets tend toward house and UK dub, but canis loopus explores genres to communicate growth through music.
 
From there, the energy only climbs higher. Alma Be — drag artist, nightlife icon, and rising DJ — brings over 15 years of experience behind the booth. Alma Be serves up irresistible blends of tech house, nu-disco, bass house, and pop remixes. Known for reading the room, Alma Be keeps the vibes high, the energy flowing, and the dance floor moving.
 
The headline performance is none other than Vivian Vanderpuss, fan favourite and Miss Congeniality from Canada’s Drag Race Season 3. (Eat your heart out, Sandra Bullock!) Victoria's vintage vixen, Vivian Vanderpuss has been charming audiences on Vancouver Island and beyond for nearly ten years! Often sporting hair that has its own gravitational pull, you can see this campy queen coming from a mile away.
 
And that’s just the beginning. Throughout the night, you’ll be treated to a lineup of still-to-be performances, including Victoria’s own bearded theatre queen Woofie, sizzling go-go dancers, and additional acts that promise to delight, surprise, and keep the energy soaring well past midnight.
 
With immersive sound, lighting, and laser production by Sculptor Systems and Living Water Media, Fulford Hall will be transformed into a full-scale Pride dance experience — pulsing, radiant, and ready for celebration.
 
The Rainbow Party is presented by DAISSI and designed as a joyful Pride celebration — a space where people can dance, connect, express themselves freely, and celebrate community.
 
When: Saturday, July 18, 8:00 pm to 1:00 am

The Seaside Music Festival presents BC's Tragically Hip Cover Band Nautical Disaster
Saturday June 20, 8:00pm
ANAF #302
Nautical Disaster was formed in 2018 by frontman Ryan LeBlanc, after hearing enough people at karaoke nights tell him to start his own Tragically Hip tribute act. With vocals set, finding the musicians wasn't tough. Rodney VanSpengen (Drums) has been with the project since the beginning, with Harry Somers (Bass/Vocals) joining about 8 months in, Stéphane Côté (Guitar/Vocals) has been with the band for two years but knew most of the members personally before joining, and Graham Francis (Guitar) joined us in 2025. The Band has survived the Covid Lockdown, and our lead singer getting married! Played shows on beaches, docks, boathouses, backyards & festivals, during heat domes & atmospheric rivers. A tight-knit group of guys who love what we do, professional and easy to work with.

PIANO ISLAND 🌴🎹 (SECOND EDITION)
Piano Island returns for another edition, a cultural Afrobeats + Amapiano experience built on sound, rhythm, and community.
“Piano” comes from Amapiano, meaning “the pianos” in Zulu, a genre born in South Africa from the fusion of deep house, jazz influences, soulful melodies, and signature log drum percussion. What started as a local sound has grown into a global movement shaping nightlife, dance culture, and youth expression worldwide.
After a successful first edition featuring UK dj/producer DJames, Piano Island returns for its second chapter - deeper, louder, and more immersive than ever.
This edition continues to celebrate the evolution of Amapiano as more than music, but a cultural experience that connects people through movement, fashion, and energy.
Soundtrack for the night: this second edition brings you some of the finest DJs repping Afro sounds across Canada:
🎧 SCORPIO (Toronto)🎧 LALA (Victoria)🎧 RAVESSA (Victoria)🎧 CED (Victoria)🎤 BRIZZY (Toronto)
 
What to Expect:
✅ High-energy dancing, immersive sound, lighting, and captivating visuals✅ Fashion, culture, and community✅ A safe, inclusive space to connect, move, and express✅ Amapiano, Afrobeats, Afro-house + more✅ A safe, inclusive space to connect, move, and express
 
This is not just a party.This is Piano Island - Chapter Two.

The “Mysticssippi Blues Man” and one of Canada’s most revered and distinctive musical voices brings his world-renowned live show to intimate venues across British Columbia!
Harry Manx has spent decades carving out a singular musical path. He is known for his extraordinary ability to fuse deep blues grooves with the spiritual depth of Indian classical music. Switching effortlessly between slide guitar, harmonica, banjo, and the remarkable Mohan veena — a 20-stringed instrument taught to him by Indian master Vishwa Mohan Bhatt — Manx creates performances that are immersive, transportive, and deeply human.

“Watching Harry play tonight I feel like I learned something new …. ”
Bruce Springsteen
Harry Manx is an artist that critics have occasionally had a hard time getting their minds around. His unique amalgam of blues and other American roots music, classical Indian forms, and bits of rock, pop, and folk makes him difficult to pigeonhole, and self-appointed gatekeepers of those traditions sometimes bemoan his lack of purity, stubbornly missing the point. But Manx’s trip is really quite easy to grasp: He’s an accomplished and adventurous lap-slide guitarist – whether playing a National resonator, a solidbody lap-steel, a modified banjo or cigar-box guitar, or his signature 20-string Mohan Veena – and a compelling singer with a rich, warm, and soulful voice who writes intelligent and compassionate songs and puts them over with heartfelt conviction.”

 
Barry Cleveland, Guitar Player Magazine
 
There are concerts, and then there are rare musical gatherings that feel quietly profound. Harry Manx creates the latter. This is music that doesn’t rush, doesn’t shout, and doesn’t rely on spectacle — instead, it invites you to listen deeply, feel fully, and leave changed. Audiences don’t just attend a Harry Manx show; they experience it. These nights linger long after the final note fades, becoming the kind of concert people talk about for years. If you value artistry, atmosphere, and the rare magic that happens when a room truly listens, this is a performance you’ll want to be part of.
