Welcome To Island Craft

Where we showcase the best of Vancouver Island.

 

Vancouver Island is recognized around the globe for its world-class craft brewers and distillers. Here at The Island Craft Festival we highlight some of the best that local producers have to offer.

We’re organized and hosted by The Strath – a local family owned Vancouver Island business since 1954.

The 2024 Winter Festival

Celebrate Vancouver Island with over 60 local beers, ciders, spirits, and now even wines!

 

The family day weekend is a special time at The Sticky Wicket. Back in 2009 we launched the “Strathcona Beer Fest” which ran annually until 2020. It’s now evolved into the “Island Craft Festivals” – of which this will be our third edition!

What can you expect? A wide selection of craft bevies from Vancouver Island producers, including some well known classics, some special editions, and some brand new debuing products. All of this for just $15 entry, which includes a complimentary appy!

Keep an eye on this page, as we’ll add even more confirmed participants soon. And follow us on Instagram at @islandcraftca for up-to-date news.

How Our Festivals Work

What to expect when you arrive.

 

The festival will be held at The Sticky Wicket, 919 Douglas St Victoria. Our 20+ local craft vendors will be spread across the Wicket Hall and the Clubhouse.

Once you’ve booked online, you can pick up your tickets at any time from the Strath Liquor Merchants. Or if you’d prefer not to book online, you can also purchase in person at the store.

Once you arrive at the festival, you’ll be given your sample cup, a complimentary food token, and any prepaid drink tokens.

Drink tokens can be used towards 4oz samples of beer or cider*, 2oz of wine, ½oz of spirit. And food tokens can be used towards some fabulous appies by our talented kitchen. Drink tokens will be available at the event for $3 each, or you can prepay for 10 at only $2.50 each. Extra food tokens will be available for $5 on the day.

* some beer or cider may be less than 4oz pours based on cost and abv. Unredeemed tokens hold no cash value.
