This week delivers festivals in triplicate: a St. Patrick's Day Festival takes over downtown Victoria, Bikefest rolls into the Westshore, and Spark Festival lights up conversations about creativity and innovation. Whether you're chasing shamrocks, pedaling two wheels, or exploring big ideas, there's something waiting.

Beyond the festivals, community markets are returning, spring theatre is in full swing (Wizard of Oz runs this week!), and Gabby's Dollhouse LIVE brings kid-friendly magic to the stage. Plus, local news bites you'll care about: BC driver's licences go online in 2027, and the RCMP are warning about gold scams targeting seniors in Greater Victoria.

As always, our Top 3 family-friendly picks.
