Eventide is a team effort; each year we ask different community groups to curate an evening of music that reflects what they bring to our local music scene.
We’re excited to announce that this year you’ll be catching shows brought to you by:
PINDN Presents
2025 Eventide kicks off on Jul 2, 2025 at 6pm with an evening curated by Alex Taylor-McCallum aka Pindn, who works to showcase Indigenous musicians, artists & performers in this city and is musician/artist as well! Be sure to check out some of his murals around town!.
Ready, set, sound!
Under the moniker READY, SET, SOUND, Megan Harton curates diverse, inclusive, and accessible concerts on unceded land of the Lək̓ʷəŋən & W̱SÁNEĆ peoples (‘Victoria, BC’). The project brings together a wide range of genres—from bluegrass to punk, drone to drag—creating events that prioritize harm reduction, safety, and accessibility. Each show is a step toward building a stronger community and fostering a more equitable music scene in Victoria..

the fifty fifty arts collective
The fifty fifty arts collective, located in unceded and occupied Lekwungen Territories (Victoria, BC), is a not for profit, volunteer-run, multi-disciplinary programming space that supports both emerging and established artists. We are committed to the underground, the underdog, the experimental and the emergent; to curatorial proposals, workshops and skill-sharing; and to group exhibitions, collaborations and artist talks. They seek to make our exhibition space viable to artists outside of Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland, in order to exhibit work from across Canada and share it with our communities, thereby deepening both our critical and innovative engagement with the arts.
CFUV
CFUV is a volunteer based non-profit arts and media organization. CFUV provides students of the University of Victoria and non-student members of the wider community with access to an array of media learning and training opportunities. CFUV elevates and amplifies marginalized and underrepresented communities through the creation and presentation of audio programming, with a specific emphasis on local and Canadian Content.
As uninvited guests on W̱SÁNEĆ and Lkwungen territories now called Victoria, CFUV is indebted to the local communities who have stewarded this land since time immemorial. We recognize that colonization is an ongoing process and that our organization plays an active role in it. We commit to amplifying Indigenous stories, voices, and perspectives, to work together to disrupt colonial trajectories, support Indigenous sovereignty, and shape a more just future. CFUV commits to dismantling colonial hierarchies in support of a diverse, equitable future.
