Come on out and join us for a weekend of fun! The Salt Spring Island Toy Run’s mission is the same as it was 23 years ago, raise money and donate toys, CLOTHING and MEALS to local families that are in need.

This is a 100% volunteer run event working with the local group “Santa’s Workshop” to help provide families and children in need with some help during the Christmas season.

The event has evolved from a handful of motorcycles taking a ride around the island and culminating with a family BBQ at the Irwin home, to over 100 local and visiting motorcycles touring the island and enjoying a weekend packed full of fun.

This is a family friendly event so whether you are a rider, passenger or spectator, there is something for everyone. From cheering on the bikes along the parade route, participating in the motorcycle games, placing your vote in the show and shine, dancing, socializing, visiting local onsite food vendors or kicking back in the ice cold beverage garden, the weekend will keep you smiling and having fun!

We suggest arriving Friday afternoon to take full advantage of everything we have to offer and stay with us at the full featured campground located close to town.

We are proud to be featuring two of Salt Spring’s finest bands. Friday night will have The Blankies playing outside in the orchard beer gardens under the stars and lights.
On Saturday we put on a fantastic Spit Roast Dinner then continue on with another live band, this year featuring Doug and the Thugs. These events are in the main hall with an awesome outdoor dance and gathering space with plenty of seating and outdoor fire pits.

There is no admission to the grounds for the daytime events. Everyone is welcome to come out and join us for a weekend of fun and celebration at the Farmer’s Institute to participate in helping our local families. Feel free to bring a new, unwrapped toy or just enjoy the event.
