Greater Victoria Flower Count: Get Out and #ExploreSooke

Tuesday, March 5, 2024 – The Greater Victoria Flower Count is an annual light-hearted promotion sponsored and organized by local businesses, Destination Greater Victoria and The Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce. The goal is normally to bolster community pride and increase awareness of Greater Victoria as an attractive shoulder-season tourism destination and an incredible place to work, live and play. The goal in 2024 is to spread spring cheer to the residents of Greater Victoria, including Sooke, and encourage them to stop and count the flowers while out in their communities.

This is a great time to #ExploreVictoria and #ExploreSooke.

In 2024, blossoming blooms will be counted from 7 a.m. on March 6 to 4 p.m. on March 13!

Join in the fun for the 49th Annual Flower Count!
