Fountain in Centennial Square, 2018

Centennial Square is a plaza in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. It was built to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the incorporation of the City of Victoria. The Victoria Police Station,[1] city hall and McPherson Playhouse are adjacent to the square. There is a fountain in the square.[2]

In the summer, the city hires musicians to perform every weekday, charging no admission fee.[3] For the British Columbia Day holiday, Centennial Square is one of the venues for the Victoria Electronic Music Festival, where musicians and DJs play for free.[4]

In winter 2012, the Downtown Victoria Business Association temporarily set up Christmas lights, a Ferris wheel,[5] and an ice skating rink in the square.[6]

In 2011, Occupy Victoria protesters camped in the square until a court, at the behest of the city, ordered them to leave.[7][8][9]
