Themed Parties in Victoria: The BRCH Guide to the Formats

Themed parties in Victoria run on word of mouth, and that changes how a format should be built. BRCH operates in Victoria and Vancouver with the same four core formats: the all-white White Party, the all-black Black Party, the Boat Party, and Pub Golf, sized and paced for a tighter scene where a strong concept travels fast. The dated editions referenced below are the BRCH-wide record; the site's event data does not assign past editions to a single city, and this guide does not either. This guide explains each format and what the Victoria crowd does with it.

Why Victoria suits recurring formats

A smaller scene remembers. A format that runs once becomes a story, a format that runs on a rhythm becomes a tradition, and guests plan around traditions: outfits bought early, groups assembled in advance. That is the BRCH bet in Victoria, recurring themed formats a crowd can recognize and dress for, rather than a new concept every month.

The formats, Victoria style

• White Party: all white, enforced at the door, the crowd as the design. Four BRCH editions ran between 2023 and 2025.
• Black Party: the all-black mirror, darker and heavier, run on July 26, 2025.
• Boat Party: fixed capacity on the water, a sunset set, and no late arrivals. Run on July 25, 2025.
• Pub Golf: the scored bar crawl, bars as holes and drinks as pars. Run on April 19, 2024.
