Organizers behind one of the city鈥檚 largest annual events 鈥� the Victoria Symphony Splash 鈥� have cancelled its upcoming edition.
The 31st edition of the Victoria Symphony event, which attracts upward of 40,000 people to the Inner Harbour each year for a day of classical music and night of fireworks, was to be held Aug. 5. The summer staple has now been moved to Aug. 1, 2021, due to concerns over COVID-19, the Victoria Symphony said in a statement.
鈥淥bviously this is disappointing, but completely understandable,鈥� said Victoria Symphony CEO Kathryn Laurin. 鈥淲e look forward to hosting a wonderful summer event next year.鈥�
The symphony has also cancelled its entire summer season of concerts, including performances at Butchart Gardens.
