This event is a fundraiser for the Sooke Food CHI organization. The non-profit organization assists the efforts of local farmers in local food production as well as promoting food security for all including agriculture, farming and fishing.

It’s a relaxing time for local residents and families, and an opportunity to view the food-growing plots that have been well-established for years as the Sunriver Community Garden.
