For five days, April 30 - May 4, SunFest will transform downtown West Palm Beach's waterfront into a music festival stacked with memorable performers and culminating in a 20 minute fireworks show. Passes are currently available for $61 for a weekend of Pretty Lights, Ellie Goulding, Sublime with Rome, The Doobie Brothers, Rebelution, Cake, Orlando's own Ancient Sun, and many, many more.
If you didn't already love the beach, SunFest is giving you plenty of reasons to enjoy some fun in the sun this May. A fine arts and crafts show, juried by BB&T, will feature the work of over 140 national artists. The "Floating Oasis," comprised of three floating barges, will offer specialty Captain Morgan drinks until midnight on Friday and Saturday. Sunday night's fireworks show will be one of the largest on the East Coast.
Tickets are available online, over the phone, and at the SunFest store in West Palm Beach. Kids 5 and under are free and inclusive VIP and group packages are available. Go to sunfest.com for more information on tickets, lodging packages, schedules, and activities.
SunFest is Florida's largest waterfront music and arts festival, held annually since 1981. It is funded in part by the Palm Beach County Tourist Development Council, State of Florida, Department of State, Division of Cultural Affairs, and the Florida Arts Council.
