Admission Information

Venue Information

Glendale Gardens and Woodland		Dogs at the Festival?
Shuttle bus, bike and vehicle parking – see Getting There. Glendale Gardens and Woodland features ten acres of gardens and is home to The Horticulture Centre of the Pacific (HCP) at 505 Quayle Road in West Saanich. Located near the heritage city of Victoria on Vancouver Island. See Getting There for map, directions and bus information. Glendale Gardens are set in the midst of a 100-acre conservation park with nature trails, wetlands and bird watching sites. The Gardens contain over 10,000 varieties of plants, and include a Native Plant Garden, Children′s Garden, Rhododendron and Heather gardens, Dahlia and Lily beds, Takata Japanese and Zen Gardens, and more. Free biodiesel shuttle bus pick up on Douglas St at Mayfair Mall, Royal Oak and Interurban. Free vehicle parking (off Beaver Lake Road). Valet bike parking by donation (Interurban entrance only).		We'd appreciate it if you left your pooch at home. Although Glendale Gardens currently allows dogs and has an “on leash” and “waste pickup” policy, this festival is much different than the Garden’s usual operations. While we're not banning dogs, we recommend you leave them at home – 3,000 people per day including small children, loud noise, and tempting food samples are not a comfortable environment for your pet. If you choose to bring your dog to the festival, you will be reminded of the “on leash” and “waste pick up” policy. Canine attendees whose mess is not picked up by owners, who wander off leash, act aggressively or snatch food from tables or hands will be asked to leave.
