NBST - Summer Breeze Tour

Summer Breeze Studio Tour, July 18 & 19, 2026, 10:00 AM–4:00 PM

The Summer Breeze Studio Tour invites the public into working studios throughout Nanoose Bay for a self-guided cultural experience and finding that unique piece of art, sculpture, jewelry to clothing!
With music bands at our local restaurant sponsors planned on Friday and Saturday along with discounted accommodations make a great way to make this a weekend event!

Visitors travel scenic rural routes to meet artists in their creative spaces, observe works in progress, and purchase original art directly from the source.

This immersive weekend highlights the depth and diversity of artistic practice in our coastal community. The tour also supports local businesses—including cafés, restaurants, farm stands, and galleries—encouraging visitors to explore and spend the weekend in the region.

Summer Breeze has become a destination event, attracting both local residents and cultural tourists seeking an authentic arts experience on Vancouver Island.
