WONDERMENT features FREE performances in Victoria public parks and nighttime ticketed events.   Daytime events are all-ages and family friendly, including parks with adjacent playgrounds and swimming.  Nighttime events are dance-oriented 19+ events with tickets priced in tiers from $20.  For 2025, we have partnered with a new venue in town dedicated to electronic music:  The Downbeat Event Centre at 1325 Government Street will be running night events through the weekend.  Given last year’s night events were all at capacity, we recommend getting your tickets in advance.  Check back mid-May as this website evolves to include artist details, schedule and online ticketing links.
