About this Event
Presented by the Victoria Chinatown Museum Society in partnership with Chinatown businesses, this free, family-friendly festival invites the community to gather in the heart of Victoria’s historic Chinatown for a day of culture, celebration, and connection.
Awakening Chinatown transforms the district into a lively gathering place filled with music, performances, food, and cultural experiences for all ages. Enjoy Lion dancing, traditional drumming, and martial arts by Wong Sheung Kung Fu Club, Chinese opera and dance by Victoria Chinese Opera Club, Chinese Dance Victoria and Happy Drum Group and live music performances spanning classical and contemporary styles including Elvin Chang, acclaimed Canto/Mando pop artist.
Also this year, the popular Awakening Chinatown Scavenger Hunt is back! Explore the district while searching for important landmarks, stories, and cultural touchpoints. It’s a fun and interactive way to experience the neighbourhood while learning more about the history and community that make it so special.
