PLAN YOUR VISIT to Gabriola Island
for our next big MAY'd event, May 22-23, 2027
Gabriola Island is accessible via a 25 minute car ferry from Nanaimo Harbour. See more details on the many routes from Vancouver Island, Victoria, etc.
Large lodges, quaint bed and breakfasts, AirBnBs and camping sites are available for booking. Don't wait! Reservation are filling fast.
Pick up a map and take the self-guided tour. Meet the artists and artisans. Hear their stories in the studios where they work, or at the vibrant markets where they sell their wares, or in some cases in a pop-up location that inspires them.
While on Gabriola, be sure to stop in and shop at the local small businesses at the heart of this small community.
