A celebration of creativity, culture, and community

Free & open to all

Why “Common Ground”?

This festival is all about connection—between cultures, neighbours, stories, and creativity. It’s a space to come as you are, meet someone new, taste something delicious, and add your mark to a shared community mural.

What to Expect:

🎶 Live music from local performers
🍻 Local beer from the Victoria Beer Society
🍲 Food vendors representing cultures from around the world
🎨 A massive community paint-by-numbers mural (yes, you get to paint!)
🛍️ Artisan & small-business market featuring local makers
💬 Interactive community mapping + a community reflection board

Hosted by Ansah Company

We are a small business rooted in ethical sourcing, cultural celebration, and honoring the hands behind every handmade good. We created Common Ground Festival to expand that vision—to build a joyful space where everyone feels welcome, seen, and inspired!
