Barrel of Monkeys Records invites you to attend our first (hopefully) annual Christmas celebration at Victoria Event Centre! Enjoy hot cocoa and even hotter tunes from Corduroy Aspect, King Bob, and Anteater Eater. This event is All Ages and Family Friendly, so bring meemaw and pep pep along and leave the tired Christmas specials at home for the night. They can’t wait to close out their best year yet with all of you.
This event is not for profit and all proceeds will be donated to Our Place Society of VIctoria. Our Place Society has grown from a unique inner-city community centre to multiple locations serving Greater Victoria’s most vulnerable, including people struggling with homelessness, mental health challenges, substance use issues, the working poor, and impoverished elderly.

There are also a lot of different barriers to accessibility that have been identified, that we continue to work on. As part of this process, we ask guests: If you are able to do so, use the Broad Street stair entrance and mulit-user washroom. There is only one accessible entrance and washroom, help make sure those who need it can use it. Do not move tables or chairs without venue permission. Keep aisles clear at all times and please return your glassware to the bar.
