About This trip

FRS Clipper is partnering with Design Victoria to create a special weekend getaway, May 9-12, 2024. Design Victoria is a four-day festival celebrating this vibrant capital city’s growing design community, which includes (but not limited to) architects, fashion, furniture, graphic, illustration, interior design, lighting, landscape, product, software, and ceramic artists.

Your experience starts with VIP admission to the Design Victoria launch party featuring free premium drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic), live DJs and full sound system, and custom design installations that light up the night. The exclusive VIP event will take place from 7-8pm featuring food and delicacies by local chefs.

The festival itself includes dozens of special installations, exhibitions, events, open houses, tours, talks, and workshops. FRS Clipper guests can experience all these events, including design workshops, and access creative studios that are not normally open to the public.
