Saturday, June 21st at 10 AM – Summer Solstice Walk
Celebrate the season with our second annual Summer Solstice Urban Walk, co-hosted with Juan de Fuca Community Trails.
This short, guided walk follows a quiet trail from Journey Middle School to the Sooke Region Museum. Let us introduce you to a great alternative to navigating construction and parking challenges during this year's popular Thursday Night Market.
Meet at 10:00 AM on Saturday in the Journey Middle School parking lot (6522 Throup Road).
We’ll walk together through a peaceful green corridor, about 15 minutes one way. Once at the museum, you’re welcome to stay and explore or walk back with the group.
Whether you're new to Sooke or a longtime local, it's a fun way to discover a lesser-known walking route in town.
Please share this route with friends and family.
