The 11th annual Eats & Beats Beach Party brings live music and international food to The Beachlands on Saturday, July 25, 2026. The free event runs from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. at 298 Beachlands Boulevard, giving families a full afternoon of entertainment without leaving town.
Five local bands will play throughout the day. Kooler kicks things off with rock classics, followed by Trippy Cals and their Latin vibes. Blase Blase brings funk and soul, while Whiskey Business adds a pop country flavour. Nautical Disaster closes out the music with a tribute to Canadian tunes, including songs by The Tragically Hip.
A lineup of food trucks offers a wide range of cuisines. Greek on the Street serves Mediterranean dishes, Mama Rosies features Filipino favourites, and Bao Theory puts a modern spin on Taiwanese food. Ali Baba Pizza Italiano bakes fresh pies, Updog specializes in Korean corndogs, and L’Authentique Poutine & Burgers delivers classic French Canadian comfort food. For dessert, Cold Comfort Ice Cream, Frosana Treats, and Holy Cow Mini Donuts round out the sweets.
The Victoria Beer Society will pour craft beer and cider on the beach. The event takes place at The Beachlands, a 134-acre oceanfront community development at the corner of Metchosin Road and Latoria Boulevard. The site has recently opened its first public park and has seen over $150 million in infrastructure investment.
Details on performers and food vendors are available on the City of Colwood events calendar.
