This week's Greater Victoria is wonderfully eclectic: dad bands battling it out on stage, repair cafés fixing everything, and indoor soccer specifically for the 60+ crowd. There are also book sales, craft fairs, workshops, markets, and nature walks across the region.

Kids can bounce around Sidney's Easter-themed kindergym, run Esquimalt's 1K Kids Fun Run, or paint butterfly-inspired masterpieces at the Butterfly Gardens. Meanwhile, Langford just scored $85,000 to throw a month-long World Cup street party in June, and Victoria's courthouse is opening its doors for mock trials, police dog demos, and actual jail tours.
