We’re bringing the Caribbean to the heart of Victoria this winter! DWTN Winter Lime is transforming Ship Point into a cultural market which will take place on the Family Day holiday (Monday, February 17, 2025). This event is the perfect way to spend your time during Family Day! Bring your loved ones, enjoy a fun-filled day and immerse yourself in the warm culture of the Caribbean.

What’s a Lime?
In Trinidadian culture, “liming” means relaxing, socializing, and enjoying good company—and that’s exactly what DWTN Winter Lime is all about. This all-ages event invites families, friends, and individuals to come together, connect, and celebrate Caribbean culture in a cozy winter setting.
