As the solstice draws near, we step into the year’s most generous stretch of daylight. Summer encourages us to let the season shape our days, or simply give them space to unfold. June is a time to get involved, have a little fun, and embrace the spirit this lively season brings.

Outdoors, there’s no shortage of ways to take it all in – whether that’s watching bears roam the estuaries, paddling through calm inlets, or simply strolling the beach with no particular destination in mind. From the shorelines, the season’s momentum carries easily into town. There’s a distinct pulse this time of year, as the community shifts from the stillness of winter to the steady buzz of summer.

Events offer meaningful ways to take part in the rhythm of life here and to experience what makes this place so special. Whether you’re planning a visit soon or thinking ahead, we hope you’ll find your own way into it.

The Tofino Jazz Festival returns June 26–29, filling the air with live music in venues across town, including free outdoor events. Every Saturday, the Tofino Market showcases West Coast artisan goods, delicious local food, and the creativity that reflects the people who call Tofino home. The Edible Garden Tours in Tofino and Ucluelet offer a thoughtful way to explore the bounty that grows here, one garden at a time. And each week, Washed Up Wednesdays brings locals and visitors together to clean up the shoreline, one bucket at a time.

As the season brings people together in so many thoughtful moments, we’ve felt that spirit of community reflected back to us. We’re grateful to be recognized this year as Canada’s top luxury hotel in TripAdvisor’s Travellers’ Choice Awards Best of the Best list. It’s not something we ever take for granted, and we share that honour with our entire team – and with all our guests.

From this vibrant corner of the coast, we look forward to welcoming you soon,
