Six-a-Side Cricket comes to VictoriaWHAT: Victoria International Six-a-Side Cricket Tournament

WHEN: Aug. 4, 5, 6, 8, 10 and 11

WHERE: Beacon Hill and Windsor parks

Athletes from around the world will converge on Beacon Hill and Windsor parks Aug. 4, 5, 6, 8, 10 and 11 for the Victoria International Six-a-Side Cricket Tournament.

Teams from Australia, New Zealand, England,

the U.S., Victoria and elsewhere will play a fast-paced, six-player game (instead of the usual 11 players), producing spectacular action in matches that last just over an hour.

Hosted every two years since 1986, the tourna-ment is this year part of the City of Victoria’s 150th birthday celebrations – appropriate given cricket’s long and rich history here. Games will be played at Beacon Hill Park in Victoria and Windsor Park in Oak Bay between 9:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. with the playoff rounds Aug. 11. Food and refreshments will be available on all game days.

Victoria Symphony makes a SplashWHAT: Symphony Splash

WHEN: Aug. 5. Family Zone open from 1 to 5 p.m., with music start-ing at 4 p.m. and the Symphony at 7:30 p.m.

WHERE: Victoria’s Inner Harbour

The Victoria Symphony will make a Splash this weekend as Victoria’s Inner Harbour is transformed into an outdoor concert stage.

One of the largest annual symphony events in North America, the crowds – up to 40,000 residents and visitors – will head to town early Sunday for the annual event featuring the symphony orchestra on a floating stage. Afternoon

musical entertainment leads up to the evening’s highlight: the live symphony perfor-mance beginning at 7:30 p.m.

Selections encompass a wide range of styles, from Liszt’s Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 to local composer Tobin Stokes’ Inner Harbour Over-ture and Schifrin’s Theme from Mission Impossible. And of course, Spalsh wouldn’t be Splash without Tchaikovsky’s

1812 Overture, complete with bells, cannons and fireworks.

The Victoria Symphony Splash Family Zone returns from 1 to 5 p.m. with kid-friendly activities, including the always-fun Victoria Sym-phony Instrument Petting Zoo, while the Splash opening act – The Midnights – begins at 4 p.m.

For more details, visit www.victoriasymphony.ca

Symphony Splash will fill the Inner Harbour with music Aug. 5.
