Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre

Victoria, British Columbia, Canada

Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre concert venue in Victoria, British Columbia

Why it matters

Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre opened in 2005 as Victoria’s main modern arena and home of the Royals. Its downtown-edge location gives Vancouver Island a room large enough for national tours without losing the smaller-city feel that comes with an arena of roughly 7,000 seats.

Getting there

Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre is close to central Victoria and is walkable from much of downtown. Drivers have arena and city parking nearby, but staying on foot is usually simpler once you are in the core.

Bag policy

Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre's published event details and guest-services page are the final authority for bags. Concert rules can differ from sports or festival setups, so verify the current size limit and prohibited-items list before packing.

Local tips

Chinatown, Old Town and the northern edge of downtown are all walkable from the arena. Victoria’s one-way streets can make driving look easier on the map than it is in practice, so choose a garage first and leave the car there for dinner and the show.
