An evening well spent requires plenty of delicious food and great entertainment. Two good things packed into one evening, into an event - now what can be better!  We have a thrilling dinner theatre presentation which some may say, is a lost art. We also have a fundraiser for a great cause and a special shopping excursion. All three upcoming events have these things in common: food, entertainment, and a great atmosphere. Don't miss out!. 

The Art of Murder

Dinner and a show - certainly an evening well spent! The Qualicum Beach Chamber of Commerce is honored to host A Brush with Death, the Art of Murder! An eventful evening, first starting off with champagne and a live art auction. Followed by an exquisite 3-course meal and an outstanding theatrical performance starring some local celebrities! For one night only (November 9th from 5:30 - 9 pm), come down to The Old School House Art Centre, and enjoy an evening filled with drama, art, and fine cuisine! Tickets are on sale now for $100, but hurry, tickets will sell out fast!

Fundraiser: A Story to Tell

Cuckoos Trattoria is well known for its delicious food and great ambiance. This year they are generously hosting the fundraiser for Oceanside Building Learning Together. On November 15th, from 5:30 -10 pm, our guest speakers will be sharing their life stories, discussing what literacy means to them and the impact words have made in their lives! This is a casual dress event, for both youth and adult, ages12 and up. A cash bar is available. As part of the fundraiser, there will also be a silent auction. When purchasing 10 tickets to a table ($50 each +fees), the table will be reserved; all other seating will be "family style." So come down to Cuckoos Trattoria and show your support for the Oceanside Building Learning Together.

A Story to Tell Merry Mingle Sip and Shop:

Another Christmas Market? But wait, this one’s different! Get together with your friends and family for an evening of holiday shopping. Explore unique arts and crafts made by Vancouver Island makers and artisans while sipping on a cocktail (or two) - savour some delicious snacks as well! Mark your calendars for November 19th, as the Merry Mingle Sip and Shop will be held at the West Coast Food House from 6:30 - 9:30 pm. Browse through a vast selection of locally made merchandise and chat with the makers and artisans who create them. Tickets are on sale for $20+ taxes. Happy shopping and sipping!
