Whether you're thinking about becoming VIU a student or you're just looking for something fun to do with the family, you won't want to miss VIU Fest.
Fun activities are planned for every corner of the Nanaimo campus. You can check out the live music, explore the pumpkin patch, take part in hands-on activities and enjoy delicious food and beverage options.
New this year: pop-up-classroom experiences
This year we are adding pop-up classes to the festival. Pop-up classes are for ages 15 to 25.
Pop-up classroom experiences are a chance to get inside a classroom and experience what hands-on learning is like at VIU.
