About SunFest

8 years ago, Wide Glide productions, a local company, brought forth the idea of Sunfest; a family oriented outdoor concert showcasing Canadian artists. Each year Sunfest hosts all Canadian bands, showcasing over 10 hours of entertainment, with plenty of food and refreshments served in a festival type atmosphere. On August 18 2001, with the audience at attention in the open fields of Providence Farm, Canadian rock legend 5440 stormed the stage and began to make history in what was the Cowichan Valley’s first outdoor Concert!

After three great years under the stars at Providence Farm, Sunfest had outgrown its roots. As a result, Sunfest embraces a new home, The Cowichan Valley Exhibition Grounds, just off the Island Hwy at the intersection of Mays Rd. In addition to the success in the Cowichan Valley, Sunfest 2010 is now a two day event!

The past success of Sunfest has relied on two elements: Good Music and Great People! Sunfest would not have evolved without our hardworking volunteers year after year.
