Sunfest London

Sunfest London Thank you for supporting LIVE music in London, ON! You're awesome

Sunfest is Canada’s Premier celebration of World Music & Culture which is held each July in beautiful Victoria Park, London, Ontario. Every summer since 1995, Sunfest has brought together thousands of people of all ages and cultures for four days of exemplary music, dance, crafts and cuisine from around the globe. This unique, high profile event features over 30 top professional world music & danc

e, and jazz ensembles based in Canada and abroad. Over the years, Sunfest has showcased international headliners from nearly every region of our planet, including Africa, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, the Caribbean, Europe, the Middle East, and First Nations territories. During the rest of the year Sunfest presents the World Music & Jazz Series at London's historic Aeolian Hall and other venues in London, Ontario. In addition, we have Sunfest in the schools, and visual art exhibits twice a year at The Arts Project in downtown London.

Music doesn’t stop when the lights go down.
It lives in the friendships made in the crowd, the strangers who danced like family, the community that keeps showing up — because belonging isn’t seasonal.

That's what we want for the Sunfest family, not just festival days, but a home for kindness and connection, all year round.

Support local art. Support your community. Support the music. 🎶

Two moods. Two worlds. One band. 🇰🇷

DOSI brought us a performance that shifted from quiet intensity to full rock power in a single breath — and the crowd felt every second of it.

This is the kind of moment that makes Sunfest, Sunfest. 💛
Sunfest doesn’t stop in July — support the music all year long.

Catch us at our year-round concerts. 🎶

Growing up, Vieux wasn’t allowed anywhere near a guitar.

His father, one of Mali’s most celebrated musicians, wanted a different path for him entirely. A family friend, kora virtuoso Toumani Diabaté, eventually talked him into changing course, just before his father’s passing in 2006.

A few of those final studio sessions ended up on his own first record. These days, critics reach for Hendrix comparisons when they describe his playing.

Fri, Oct 2 · Metropolitan United Church · Doors 7 / Show 8 · $30 adv, $37 door.

For four days, the world came to Victoria Park: every rhythm, every language, every story, sharing the same stage. 🌍🎶

We danced together. We listened together. We became one crowd, made of everywhere.

Thank you to every artist who brought their culture across oceans to share it with us. Thank you to every supporter, every volunteer, every vendor, every crew member behind the scenes making it all run. And thank you to everyone who showed up: you’re the reason this festival feels like home.

See you next year. 🧡

Seven strangers kept running into each other at the same house parties. Eventually they just started a band.

That’s the real origin story of Empanadas Ilegales — a Vancouver collective with roots in Colombia, Ecuador, and Argentina, built on rooftop jam sessions before it was ever built on a stage. Now they tour with a sound they call psychedelic cumbia: part dance-floor cumbia, part surf-rock, part free-jazz horn section gone rogue.

📍 London Brewing Co-op
🗓️ Sat, Aug 29 · Doors 7PM, Show 8PM
