The Volkssport Clubs of South Vancouver Island held the first Victoria Volkssport Phoenix Festival on April 17th to 18th, 2009.

The Garden City Wanderers Volkssport Club, the Victoria ‘Y’ Volkssport Club and the Juan de Fuca Pathfinders Walking Club jointly hosted this exciting reincarnation of the famous Victoria Blossom Walks.

We were thrilled with the response to the Phoenix Festival. Almost 350 people from all over North America (plus one from Germany) attended and the feedback was great. Everyone seemed to really enjoy the relaxed atmosphere, the walks themselves, the home baking and the friendly volunteers. In addition, we received some great ideas to make it even better next time.

We plan to hold the next Phoenix Festival in 2011. We have tentatively booked April 15-17, 2011. We suggest that you, also, reserve these dates in your calendar, and watch this website for future updates.
