Holiday Spirit Celebration

Saturday December 5th was Sooke's Spirit Festival, celebrating the holiday spirit right here at home.

The day started with the Santa Claus parade, continued with the annual "Sail Past", with local boat owners lighting up their boats and cruising the Harbour, from Rotary Pier to Whiffin Spit and back. The day ended with a performance with the Sooke Philharmonic Orchestra performing Bach's Oratorio at the Community Theatre.

Sooke Spirit indeed! Ho ho ho!
