Why: The second week of activity from the Victoria Fringe Festival comes to a close Sunday, but there’s plenty of time to sample some of the best alternative theatre in the market before it wraps. Highlights abound, from the finale of The Sci-Fi Sampler to a quartet of performances of Corin Raymond’s Bookmarks, two of dozens of options at one of six downtown venues. The Fringe is one of the best-value events in the city each year, so dive in. You won’t be disappointed.
Why: Produced by the non-profit Alter Arts Society, this wide-ranging collection of interactive art from mostly regional artists illuminates the Quadra Village area throughout the weekend. Beginning with an opening night concert by rootsy Juno nominees The Fugitives, the festival is followed by three full days of outdoor activities on the grounds at SJ Willis Education Centre , including a lantern parade, yoga workshops and spoken word showcases.
Why: The passing of legendary local drummer Don Leppard, who died Aug. 22 , leaves a super-sized hole in the close-knit jazz community after nearly 40 years of performing in Victoria. Musicians wanting to pay their respects can sit in with CanUS, one of Leppard’s many projects, during their afternoon set at Hermann’s Jazz Club.
