2025 BC Provincial Festival - Victoria As Victoria is an expensive summer tourist destination, we strongly recommend that you stay on the UVic campus for the festival. A block of single and double rooms has been set aside for BC Provincial Festival participants. Please see the Accommodation Information page here, for information about booking these rooms for the festival. Please note that all participants under the age of 19 must be accompanied by an adult. **Update April 27: Double rooms have sold out, although a waiting list is being kept. There are 15 cluster units remaining (4 bedrooms, two toilet rooms, one shower room, kitchen and living room) and lots of single rooms available. UVic is being very careful to keep parents and children next to each other in single room accommodation.
Food Options on Campus The Cove dining hall on campus will be open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Further options will be posted on the UVic website in May: https://www.uvic.ca/food Parking on Campus All parking on campus is pay parking. Parking passes may be purchased from a machine in any of the lots and once purchased are good for any lot. The machine prompts you for payment using credit cards or exact cash. Machines do not give change. You will also need your license plate number for the machine. You can now use a contactless app to pay for daily or weekly campus parking. Download the free Honk Mobile app from the AppStore or Google Play, and pay for parking directly from your phone, The app offers a reminder to add more parking time remotely without having to return to your vehicle.
