The Sunshine Music Festival had a blast in 2022, and we can’t wait to host you again this year! On Labour Day weekend 2023, we invite you to dance your heart out under the towering trees framing our beachfront stage. Indulge in a refreshing swim, fill your belly with delicious food from our many local vendors, and take a wander of our artisan market to find that special treasure.
For 2023, we have made some key updates to our vendor application guidelines. We are also busily collecting and reviewing new performer applications (apply early!).
