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. For more than 45 years, this volunteer-run, non-profit festival has brought together an outstanding lineup of musicians from across British Columbia and Canada, creating an unforgettable weekend of live music in one of the qathet region’s most scenic settings.

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.

An Evening of Song & Community with Marten Borch

May 24, 2025 @ 4:00 pm 7:00 pm

Join Hearthstone Village and Marten Borch for a heartfelt evening of music, connection, and shared nourishment.

We’ll begin with a soulful set from Marten, whose music dances between joy and sorrow, laughter and reflection. His lively melodies and poignant lyrics invite you to feel deeply—and connect more fully with yourself and those around you.

After the first performance, we’ll pause to enjoy a community potluck—an opportunity to break bread together and savour the diverse flavours brought by all who attend. Following the meal, we’ll gather once more as Marten returns to the stage, this time joined by community member Oliver on fiddle. Their distinct musical voices intertwine in a final set that promises to be both intimate and up lifting. Come as you are, bring a dish if you can, and be part of this special evening of music and togetherness.
