El Victoria Ska Festival debut\u00f3 en 2000 como evento de un d\u00eda en el Market Square<\/strong>, con un raqu\u00edtico presupuesto de tan solo 20.000 d\u00f3lares obtenidos principalmente a trav\u00e9s de patrocinios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El festival tuvo un \u00e9xito sorprendente. Muy pocos pod\u00edan imaginar que se convertir\u00eda en uno de los acontecimientos veraniegos m\u00e1s emblem\u00e1ticos de la ciudad, y ahora uno de los m\u00e1s longevos de su g\u00e9nero en Norteam\u00e9rica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El festival, que ahora se denomina Victoria Ska and Reggae Festival<\/strong> abarca cinco d\u00edas de programaci\u00f3n en cuatro sedes y llega a su 25 aniversario con la moral por las nubes. Seg\u00fan Dane Roberts, fundador y organizador, las primeras ventas de entradas apuntan a que \u00e9sta ser\u00e1 “con diferencia” la edici\u00f3n de mayor \u00e9xito hasta la fecha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
