The ships will shine in Victoria’s Inner Harbour Friday evening.

Greater Victoria Harbour Authority celebrates the holiday season with the annual Marina Light Up Kick-off at 5 p.m. Friday. Boats decked in lights beckon visitors to walk the docks and explore the lighted ships with free hot chocolate available on a first come, first served basis.

The event, on the docks below Fairmont Empress, runs from 5 to 6:30 p.m.

Greater Victoria Harbour Authority owns and operates several high-profile community amenities including The Breakwater, Inner Harbour lower causeway, and customs dock at Raymur Point. For more information, visit www.gvha.ca.
