Welcome to Pacific Tattoo!

A Tattoo is a tightly woven, full production spectacle of music and movement, featuring military bands, massed pipes and drums, choirs, dancers, and special skills and athletic demonstrations.

The Tattoo has evolved from a simple military ceremony in the 17th century to a dynamic performance concept with hugely successful events in cities around the world from Edinburgh, Scotland to Sydney, Australia. In Canada, Halifax’s Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo has been a major fixture on the East Coast summer festival scene since 1979.  

Now, with the launch of the Pacific Tattoo, North America’s West Coast has its own signature international tattoo.  The Pacific Tattoo is gearing up to deliver high quality, family friendly entertainment to locals and visitors alike.

The Pacific Tattoo’s inaugural performances shall take place in July 2011 at the Save-On Foods Memorial Centre in downtown Victoria.  The two-hour musical extravaganza features participants from Vancouver Island and beyond.  Tickets go on sale in December 2010, so become a Friend of the Tattoo and be one of the first in line for tickets and other special offers!

Check out the Basel Tattoo promotional video on Youtube. It provides an excellent introduction of what to expect at the Pacific Tattoo.
