If you’re in Victoria this weekend, don’t miss the Bay Centre takeover where more than 200 young entrepreneurs will be showing off their businesses and creations. The plaza and mall corridors will be bustling with pop-up booths featuring everything from handmade goods and sustainable fashion to tech demos, food items and creative services — a great snapshot of local youth innovation and small-business spirit.
Expect a lively, family-friendly atmosphere with chances to chat directly with creators, discover fresh local brands, and pick up unique gifts. Organizers often include mini-workshops, live demos, and networking opportunities that let young vendors practice pitching and connect with customers and mentors. It’s an easy way to support emerging entrepreneurs while enjoying a community-focused outing downtown.
Plan to bring a reusable bag and a mix of payment options (many vendors accept cards, but some may prefer cash). It is free to enter, and is open from 10am to 4pm! Whether you’re shopping, scouting ideas, or just soaking up the energy, this event is a showcase of Victoria’s next generation of business talent.
