Jane Austen Festival Days of

 2019 

 Programme

April 13th - May 11th - June 23rd.

About the Jane Austen Festival Days:

Since 2016 a three day Jane Austen Festival  which included  events specially tailored to the Regency Period and celebrating the life and works of Jane Austen has been held in Port Alberni.

This year, the tradition  continues with a new concept and one that should not require all our wonderful volunteers to be overworked and suffering from not a little, stress.  Our Festival has become extremely popular which delights the organizers.  

This year we are really looking forward to our same three events.  Each one will be special, with a few additions and changes of venue.  Read about them below and plan your Spring 2019.
