Event Description

The Victoria Fiddle Society is pleased to announce an exciting new program of entertainment and community collaboration – The VFS Open Mic and Feature Act Concert Series. Whenever we hear about a Great Act that is planning to swing through Victoria, we at the VFS are going to do whatever we can to give you an opportunity to get to see them and learn from them. This is our House Concert with a twist series (a twist of the beer cap that is).
