Said the Whale at the Beach!

Colwood's Eats & Beats Beach Party returns to the Lagoon Beach on Saturday, July 30, with an all star line up of five outstanding bands headlined by Juno award winning Vancouver band, Said the Whale plus four of Victoria's best local bands. The event is presented by title sponsors, Royal Beach developers, Reliance Properties and Seacliff Properties.

Food, beverages, music and fun all day

Four band members sitting against a backdrop split into yellow and white halves. Two men, one in a red shirt and one bald in a red jacket, sit on the yellow side. Two women, one in glasses wearing a black shirt and the other in a black top and yellow skirt, sit on the white side.

Picture yourself on the beach in the sunshine with your favourite people, s cold beverage in your hand served beachside by the Victoria Beer Society, trying out the climbing wall for a breathtaking birds eye view across the ocean or getting out there on a free paddle board trial. You'll be sampling delicious eats from favourite local food trucks, and grooving to beats by some of Victoria's best, high energy performers including the New Groovement, Downtown Mischief and OK Charlie. The line up is rounded out by another local band to be announced in July after their performances at Laketown Shakedown and JazzFest.

Throughout the day as you soak up the sun and sounds with tasty eats and craft beverages, you'll stroll the beach market featuring 40 unique local vendors, take a spin on an e-bike from West Shore Bikes, play beach games with WildPlay and West Shore Parks & Rec and even test your paddling skills in West Shore RCMP's Indigenous canoe. Throughout the day you'll get some cool body art and a fun caricature portrait of yourself to take home as a cool memento of the event.

And then, as the sun glows over the sparkling ocean on the horizon in the West, Said the Whale takes the Eats & Beats Beach oceanside stage to bring a whole new wave of energy. Such a perfect fit! Their music is pure West Coast, with bright and bubbly anthems and crunchy rock swagger, and sugar-spiked pop singalongs. Drawing from California pop and indie rock their rich harmonies and lyrics are inspired by the water and mountains of their hometown Vancouver. They've won a Juno award, topped the alternative radio chart, and amassed a devoted base of fans, all while maintaining their resolute independent spirit. And you'll be watching them live on the beach in Colwood.
