SunFest

Special Note: SunFest has been canceled for 2021.  We look forward to returning in 2022.

It’s not just a festival, it’s a state of mind. Feel the sun on your skin and ocean breezes in your hair as you listen to great live music. That’s SunFest, the four-day event held along Flagler Drive in downtown West Palm Beach waterfront. 

Floating Bars and Plenty to Do

Hear more than 40 bands performing on three stages, and the music is just the beginning. The tunes are there along with two floating bars, VIP experiences, eye-catching art, delectable eats, and a firework show. 

Bringing the Music 

SunFest mixes rock, funk, indie, hip-hop, country, and reggae. It’s easy to find your faves and discover new ones. Past acts have included Kendrick Lamar, Duran Duran, John Legend, Snoop Dogg, Train, Death Cab for Cutie, Fitz and The Tantrums, Pitbull, Nick Jonas, Billy Idol, Third Eye Blind, Toots and the Maytals, Ice Cube, Keith Urban, Bebe Rexha, The B-52s, Tears for Fears, Christopher Cross, and more. 

 It’s the Food, Drink, Art, and More

Even when you take a break from the music, SunFest keeps on entertaining you. There’s always a party happening on those famous floating bars, with their specialty cocktails and frozen drinks. Food at SunFest is from all over the world – find Caribbean flavors, barbeque, ethnic favorites, and most likely … something you never tried before. The art show welcomes original works, be it paintings, photography, or sculptures. And you just never know what you can find as walk about SunFest, from wine tastings to open-air lounges to interactive games.
