Victoria is a city of dreamers. Beautiful all year round, it’s easy to lay down in the shade of a tree and stare up at the sky through its branches, thinking about all the things that COULD be, and imagining all the ways that you could bring them into being.

LOGAN’S HOOTENANNY
Logan’s Pub has long been a hub for alternative music. Located nearby Victoria’s historic Fernwood neighbourhood on Cook Street, Logan’s is the kind of locally beloved dive bar that has hosted countless unforgettable concerts and birthed the area’s most important bands.
If you want to experience Victoria’s music scene intimately, then head to Logan’s on any given Sunday afternoon for the Hootenanny – a four-hour open mic created and hosted by Victoria’s legendary Carolyn Mark. There you can see musicians of all levels play while enjoying a great beer in one of the most idyllic neighbourhoods in the world. It’s a one-of-a-kind experience that you’ll cherish forever, and it’s free.
Of course, Victoria is always full of awesome shows to see. All you need to do is walk around on any given evening and duck into any door you can hear music coming from. And if you’re going to do that, you want to stay in the heart of the action – book a room at the Days inn Victoria on The Harbour for accommodations right in downtown Victoria!
