skampede 2025 call for applications

SKAMpede will be returning to Victoria’s trails July 11-13!

SKAMpede, now in it’s 17 year, is an annual professionally curated outdoor performance festival. It is fun for the whole family, providing engaging live entertainment for the many communities of Victoria. This year’s festival will feature 9 10-minute works presented by local performers as well as artists from across the country, juried by professional artists from our community.

Audiences can choose between different tours consisting of four shows each as well as a choice between cyclist or pedestrian tours. At the festival, patrons depart in groups of twelve from specific launch points. On each tour, audiences watch original works of comedy, music, dance, theatre, poetry, and other artistic practices.

Tours run simultaneously and continue throughout the course of the weekend, so that our hardcore patrons can get a chance to see every performance SKAMpede has to offer.
