All tickets can be purchased online. The Victoria Battle of the Bar Bands will be held before the April long weekend on Thursday, April 2, 2026 at the Da Vinci Centre. Bands made up of local lawyers and others from the legal community will fill the dance floor in front of a panel of distinguished Judges. The best band will be awarded the coveted Rob Richie Memorial Battle of the Bar Bands trophy, with the Ivan Elieff Memorial Trophy going to the best band of the mini battle for best cover! It’s anyone’s to win this year – will we see the Remnants reclaim the victory? Or will a young UVic band step up to the challenge?
The Greek on the Street food truck will once again be right outside with delicious Greek food throughout the event so plan on having dinner and snacks there. 50/50 tickets will be available during the event.
The first band starts playing at 7pm sharp! The bars will be serving until 11pm.
