The Victoria Anarchist Bookfair is 20 years old! 

We are pleased to announce that the Twentieth Annual Victoria Anarchist Bookfair is happening this September 20th and 21st  on Lkwungen Territory in Victoria, British Columbia at the Fernwood Community Centre, 1240 Gladstone Avenue. The bookfair draws participants from across Turtle Island and around the world. 

This year, they are hosting a variety of vendors and workshops addressing the most salient issues of the day. Speakers will address topics such as housing activism, Cuban anarchist struggles, Anarchist Archiving, plus singing! Plus, with activist, author, anarchist and artist NO Bonzo’s stunning artwork adorning our posters we celebrate our longevity as a community event powerfully and beautifully. 

Participants include publishers, bookstores, presses, distros, zine makers, community activists, and artists, as well as affiliate groups: Camas Books and Infoshop, Food Not Bombs, Spartacus Books (Vancouver), PM Press (Oakland), Nightshade Press (Van Isle), Thoreapple Press (Victoria). There are also tablers of a more DIY persuasion ranging from independent publishers such as Historical Seditions (Seattle) to zinesters like Analog Evolution to artists like The Brass Iris and Meg’s Macabre Marvels.  

For more information, including the full workshop, tabler and event listings and the Festival of Anarchy schedule, please visit victoriaanarchistbookfair.ca.  

The website also has statements about indigenous solidarity, principles, accessibility, and their safer space policy.

And finally, they need people to come as participants, not consumers. So please consider helping them out by volunteering? Connect with us at: volunteers@victoriaanarchistbookfair.ca

Join us as we honour life, memory, and culture in this special community gathering. Sunday, November 2, 3:00 – 6:00pm, Fernwood Community Centre Gym, 1240 Gladstone Avenue. Everyone Welcome! 

This celebration is a collaboration between Fernwood Neighbourhood House and Dignidad Migrante, bringing together neighbours of all backgrounds to share in this meaningful Mexican tradition. We’ll have music, food, a colourful altar, and activities — a vibrant space to celebrate loved ones who are no longer with us and to connect with one another. This event is a space to share stories, traditions, and resources that support trade immigrants and newcomers and build bridges across cultures. All are welcome to bring a photo or offering for the community altar. Come celebrate culture, memory, and community with us.

Time: 3:00pm – 6:00pm
