About SunFest.

Four 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 Rock Concert!

After three great years under the stars at Providence Farm, Sunfest had outgrown its roots. As a result, Sunfest now welcomes a new home at Avalon Acres, with over 100 acres of room for camping, festival events, food vendors and a great big stage! In addition to the success in the Cowichan Valley, Sunfest has expanded to include shows in Courtney and Victoria. Sunfest 2006 will host shows in the Cowichan Valley and Courtenay, with record crowds expected at both events!

The past success of Sunfest has relied on two elements: Good Music and Great People! Without our hardworking volunteers year after year, Sunfest would not have evolved from a one band concert to hosting six bands for 2006!

Don’t Miss New Sunfest Entertainment:
Trials Bikes Demo, Show ‘n’ Shine, Honda Demo’s
and more.
