Between draws and after the on-ice action, head to Après Curl for live music, refreshments, special guests and plenty of opportunities to keep the good times going.

Conveniently located at the Victoria Curling Club (1952 Quadra St), just steps from Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre, Après Curl will be open Tuesday, October 13 through Sunday, October 18.

Highlights include:

• Fireside Chat: Hear from Victoria’s own Taylor Reese-Hansen and Bruce Mouat, hosted by John Cullen, on Wednesday, Oct. 14 at 2:30 p.m.

• Pride Night: Kick off Pride Night with a pre-game celebration on Thursday evening, then stick around after the draw for a special Pride Night party featuring CBC’s Devin Heroux and music from a local DJ on Thursday, Oct. 15.

• Live Music Friday: Pierce Clarke takes the stage for happy hour entertainment, followed by Three Sailing Wait later in the evening.

• Saturday Night Karaoke: When the curling wraps, the party continues with a karaoke DJ ready to keep the energy going into the night.

Plus, from Thursday to Sunday, fans can cheer on a new generation of curlers taking part in the Island Shootout bonspiel. See the full schedule below and make Après Curl part of your Grand Slam experience. Grab your friends, enjoy some good times and settle in for a week of great curling.
