September 5 September 6

Celebrate the end of summer at the Sunshine Music Festival, a beloved Labour Day weekend tradition held on the beautiful waterfront at Palm Beach Regional Park.

In addition to world-class performances, the festival features artisan vendors, local food, family-friendly activities, and a welcoming atmosphere that keeps people coming back year after year. Bring a chair or blanket, relax by the beach, and enjoy two days of incredible music, community, and West Coast hospitality at one of the region’s signature summer events.
