The Oak Bay Tea Party began as a “one time
event” in the summer of 1963 when the late
Allan Cox, Q.C. was the Reeve of Oak Bay. It was
so successful that it became an annual event since
then. Originally, the Oak Bay Tea Party was run
by a group of volunteers, most of whom were members
of the Oak Bay Kiwanis Club, who called themselves
“The Oak Bay Bored of Trade”. Since
1990, the Tea Party has been run by the Oak Bay
Tea Party Society, a non-profit society dedicated
solely to putting on the Tea Party on the 1st Saturday
and Sunday of June at Willows Park.
