Continuing The Parkside Hotel & Spa’s holiday tradition of bringing the community together, the hotel is once again partnering with Rainbow Kitchen to share Festive Bricks of Giving, a free holiday exhibition running from November 15 to December 28, 2025, in The Parkside’s atrium. This year’s celebration introduces a creative new twist, featuring impressive LEGO displays built by local artists, families, and fans of all ages. This complimentary event is open daily from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM with donations very much appreciated.
On December 6th, join us in the atrium with a special appearance from "the big guy", Santa himself! Enjoy a free photo while enjoying the exhibits and stay and become a kid at heart again with various brick building stations. Photos will take place from 9:30am-12:30pm on a first come, first serve basis.
Every dollar raised directly supports Rainbow Kitchen's School Meal Program with a mission to combat food insecurity in Greater Victoria schools. The organization sources, creates, and distributes over 250,000 meals annually, providing more than 6,000 meals monthly to children across the school system.
Keepsake Lego ornaments will also be available at guest services for a suggested tap donation. Convenient tap-to-donate stations are located throughout the experience to help the giving spirit of the season to directly support Rainbow Kitchen's School Meal programs.
The Goal: $50,000!
Did you know that 1 in 3 school aged kids in Greater Victoria is food insecure? For the last 3 years Rainbow Kitchen has been working to address this need with their ‘Fridge of Love’ program in 6 local Victoria schools.
Each ‘Fridge of Love’ is stocked with freshly baked muffins, fruit, yogurt and more and is accessible to anyone who needs a snack – student, faculty or visitors alike.
This years’ fundraising goal is $50,000 which would help us launch and fund another ‘Fridge of Love’ in our community for a whole year!
