Event Description

Whole families come together for free, old-fashioned, unplugged fun to celebrate Shawnigan’s past. Marvel at artisans demonstrating bygone-era skills such as weaving, quilting and carving. Participate in old-timey races, play carnival games and get dressed up for a vintage photo in our on-site photo studio. Witness the exciting eye candy that is a line-up of vintage vehicles from the 1920s to the 1960s. Visitors are encouraged to share stories from the good ole days and appreciate others', at the Memory Tent or anytime online at the Shawnigan Lake Museum Facebook page. Pack a picnic for the family or try something new this year – our Picnic Basket Auction. Baskets packed with lunch goodies from local restaurants, shops and eateries will be up for auction as a fundraiser for our museum expansion. To celebrate this 40th year in our community, the crowd will sing “Happy Birthday” and share in some celebratory cake. Any way you slice it, this event is the bee's knees.
