Victoria's 27th Annual Ska & Reggae Festival will run Wednesday, June 24 to Sunday, June 28, 2026.   After celebrating the best attended year in our history in 2025, we’re ready for more in 2026! This will be our 27th straight edition and we are happy to share this tradition with you on Canada's best coast! We caaann wait!! Get your festival passes early and treat yourself, your partner, your loved ones, or your crew to an unforgettable summer experience. This year’s festival promises the same incredible mix of hometown, national, and international talent you've come to expect—plus a few surprises. Five full days of diverse programming will bring together the best in ska, reggae, hip-hop, dancehall, funk, global roots, bass music, and anything else that makes your feet move and your soul groove. Skip the hassle of buying individual tickets and save with a festival pass. Choose between VIP Full Fest Passes or General Admission Full Fest Passes so you can enjoy everything the festival has to offer—your way. VIP FULL FEST PASSES INCLUDE: Guaranteed admission to Ship Point, Victoria Curling Club, and any other festival venue with a capacity of 500 or greater until the headlining act begins VIP beverage service at Ship Point and Victoria Curling Club (separate bar) Access to VIP bathrooms at Ship Point and Victoria Curling Club Access to the VIP Lounge at Ship Point and Victoria Curling Club Please note: You must be 19+ with valid ID to purchase either the General Admission or VIP Full Fest Pass. Important Details: Dates and lineup subject to change without notice. No refunds or exchanges. Wristbands are non-transferable and valid for one person only. Most festival venues are all-ages, but VIP and General Admission Full Fest passes are sold as 19+ due to potential club venue access. Remember that you get access to the VIP areas during the free shows at Ship Point on June 24, 25 & 28, 2026! Use your pass to the fullest! Similar to last year, we may offer "Late Bird Passes" if both VIP Full Fest and General Admission Full Fest Passes sell out. This pass will give you the same access as a General Admission Full Fest Pass but the cost will be the total sum of all individual ticketed shows (in venues of 500+ capacity) at the value they are being sold at the time the Late Bird Pass is offered.  Mark your calendars! The lineup for Victoria's 27th Annual Ska & Reggae Festival (June 24-28, 2026) will be released in February 2026 or before! Stay tuned at www.victoriaskafest.ca for details and updates.
