Shop Downtown From Home
This year, more than ever before, it’s vital to support local during the holidays. The wonderful businesses in Victoria’s core are facing uncertain futures, some may not survive past the holidays – it’s the season many retailers and restaurants depend upon for their entire year. Not only do these small businesses have to compete for business with big box stores and services like Amazon, but they also must combat the effects of COVID-19.
Don’t let the fact that you are at home deter you from shopping local! Many downtown Victoria businesses have gone online to stay afloat, meaning you can shop locally from the comfort of your couch.
We've compiled a list of downtown businesses with online stores to make it easy to shop from home and support local downtown businesses.

How to get to and around downtown Victoria
Downtown Victoria’s easy to get around. For some, it’s like a big outdoor mall. Park, lock your bike, or get off the bus at one location, and explore the streets and shop windows for a while.
