Registration is open for the Greater Victoria Performing Arts festival as organizers prepare to “applaud the future” in April’s in-person return of the 95-year-old event.

“We look forward to the return of festival’s live adjudication and concert experiences,” the non-profit festival’s office administrator Sandi Best, said in a press release. “(Since) 1927, we have been developing artistic skills and celebrating the love of the performing arts.”
