Find your summer vibe –
hot dancing shoes and
cool Sunfest Cerveza beer
are a must! – during the landmark
25th edition
of Canada’s Premier Celebration of World Cultures.
Voted one of the best overseas music festivals by the UK’s prestigious
Songlines Magazine, as well as a TOP 100 event by Festivals & Events Ontario,
TD Sunfest'19
is ready to transfigure London’s beautiful Victoria Park into a culturally diverse jewel
where, for
four days, 40 outstanding world music & jazz groups from all
corners of the planet – Brazil to Reunion Island – will entertain on
five stages.
TD Sunfest’s 2019 international headliners range from Middle Eastern sensations
47Soul
(Palestine/Jordan/UK) to Peru’s ‘Cultural Ambassador’
Lucho Quequezana, Spain’s Grammy-winning
Marinah
and Chile’s 14-piece
Newen Afrobeat
orchestra. Premier Canadian acts include Quebec’s
AfrotroniX,
The Brooks and
Le Vent du Nord. And with 250 exhibitors, this beloved
FREE-Admission
attraction (more
than 225,000 happy visitors served each summer) will whet festivalgoers’
appetites for scrumptious global cuisine and unique crafts & visual
art.
“TD
Sunfest is my favorite festival of the year [and] easily the city’s
most popular festival… [which has become] a destination for world-class
performers…The beauty of TD Sunfest is that
the music is often a mash-up of genres that will especially satisfy the
curiosity of anyone looking to enjoy unusual sounds played on equally
unusual instruments. It also has the largest and most unusual
collection of arts and crafts and food vendors of any
London festival. The best part, for me, is that TD Sunfest draws an
audience – often entire families – from across London’s cultural mosaic
to one location, an opportunity for barriers to fall and understanding
to rise. If you’ve never been, you’re not just
missing out on the music, you’re missing out on meeting your newest
neighbour.”
– Joe Belanger, The London Free Press, Sat. June 23/18
