1. Put on your Dancing Shoes

The VIKIZFEST Weekender with Aaron and Marietta is coming to Vibe Dance Centre from November 17 to 19. This is a great opportunity to experience the evolution of Kizomba, a dance form that originated in Angola in the late 1970s. The word means ‘party’ – so you can expect to have a good time. There’ll be workshops, private lessons and parties.
 

2. Take a Self-Guided Tour

Want to learn about what local artisans are up to this Christmas season? Then head to Nanaimo’s local farms, studios, galleries and workshops on a self-guided Country Christmas Tour at Cedar Yellow Point between November 23 to 26. From discovering hand carved treasures at Noel Brown Native Art to sampling mouth-watering baked goods at Yellow Point Cranberries Farm – this tour is a treat for the senses.
 

3. Visit the German Christmas Market

Now in its 16th year, the Christmas Market at the German Cultural Centre on November 24 and 25 is a great place to stock up on jams, maple syrup, Christmas ornaments, traditional wooden toys and unique gifts. And there’ll be food: lots of food. The kitchen will be serving up traditional German sausages, sauerkraut, soup and pretzels – so arrive hungry!
 

4. A Port Theatre Spotlight Series Presentation

The dynamic Bergmann Piano Duo are returning to the Port Theatre with their energetic and uniquely eclectic Classical Coffee Concert Series. They open the series with a programme of duet transcriptions of favourite operatic repertoire. The virtuosic duo will also collaborate with special guest Francois Houle (clarinet) on November 28. Complete with coffee and treats, these concerts are a wonderful way start to your day!
