SUMMARY:VicFest
DESCRIPTION:THE EVENT \nVicFest: Celebrate Victoria is a free\, public Victoria Day celebration in Centennial Square put on by Dopa\, IMM\, and DVBA. It brings together local businesses\, food trucks\, and the downtown community for an afternoon of movement\, discovery\, and celebration. \nThe event is the grand finale of Unlock Victoria\, a two-week city-wide walking challenge (May 4–18) powered by the free Dopa app. Hundreds of participants will have been exploring downtown businesses for two weeks before event day — VicFest is where it all comes together. \n  \nEvent day features: \n\nLive wellness activations and demos from local businesses\nCurated food truck lineup\nLeaderboard reveal and raffle prizes from the Unlock Victoria challenge\nLaunch of the Dopa Passport — discounts from 20+ downtown businesses\nVic Quest — a paid photo challenge race (details below)\nMusic\, community energy\, and 300–500+ expected attendees\n100% of Vic Quest entry fees go to prizes and a local cause\n\nVIC QUEST — THE DAY-OF CHALLENGE \nVic Quest is a paid photo challenge race running during VicFest. Think Amazing Race meets downtown Victoria. It’s the centrepiece of the event and the primary engagement driver for sponsors. \n  \nHow It Works: \n\nSign up. Participants pay $25 to enter and form teams of 2–4.\nGet your quest card. Each team gets a quest card in the Dopa app listing all sponsor checkpoints.\nVisit and snap. Teams visit sponsor booths at their own pace between 11:00 AM and 1:30 PM. At each booth\, the business sets a photo prompt — strike a pose\, try a demo\, complete a mini challenge. The participant takes the photo through the Dopa app and earns their points. No rushing — just complete all checkpoints before 1:30.\nThe final clue drops. At exactly 1:30 PM\, every qualifying team receives the final clue simultaneously — a riddle pointing to a hidden Dopa marker in the square. First team to find it and photograph it wins.\nShare your recap. The app generates a personal photo collage of every checkpoint — the participant’s Vic Quest Recap. Post to Instagram tagging @playdopa and #VicQuest for social prizes.\n\n  \nPrizes: \n\n50% of all entry fees go to prizes — $500 guaranteed for the winner\, remainder to runners-up\n50% of all entry fees donated to a local cause\nBest Photo and Best Collage prizes from local business partners\n100% of every entry fee goes to prizes and charity
