The Saanichton Village Association is a collection of business and residential members who work to enhance the friendly and supportive “village” environment of Saanichton, primarily through presenting opportunities for locals to gather and interact, while at the same time showcasing local retail, services, farms and other businesses.
There’s nothing quite like Christmas in the village. On Saturday, December 6, 2025, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Saanichton Village will once again transform into a hub of festive cheer as the Saanichton Village Association (SVA) hosts the 21st Annual Saanichton Community Christmas.

Proudly Supporting the Saanich Peninsula Hospital Foundation’s “Keeping Families Healthy” Campaign
There’s nothing quite like Christmas in the village. On Saturday, December 6, 2025, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Saanichton Village will once again transform into a hub of festive cheer as the Saanichton Village Association (SVA) hosts the 21st Annual Saanichton Community Christmas.
For more than two decades, this beloved tradition has brought together families, friends, and neighbours to kick off the holiday season with warmth, joy, and small-town charm. Thanks to the support of the District of Central Saanich, local businesses, and dedicated volunteers, the celebration continues to grow in spirit and purpose.
This year, the SVA is proud to partner with the Saanich Peninsula Hospital Foundation (SPHF). As our community grows, so does the demand for accessible, high-quality healthcare close to home. The hospital is more than a building—it’s a lifeline for families, providing care during life’s most critical moments.
Surgical demand at Saanich Peninsula Hospital has nearly doubled since 2022. With community support, SPHF can modernize its three operating rooms, add 250–300 surgeries each year, and improve care close to home. Plans also include expanded parking, making visits less stressful for patients and families.
Last year, the event raised over $11,000 for local causes. This year’s goal is even greater: strengthening healthcare on the Peninsula while celebrating the season together.
Families can look forward to a morning full of festive fun:
The Saanichton Community Christmas is more than an event—it’s a tradition that reflects the heart of the Peninsula. Whether it’s your first time attending or your 21st, this year promises to be extra special.
So bundle up, bring your holiday spirit, and join us in the village. Let’s make memories, support our hospital, and keep the spirit of giving alive this Christmas.
