As we craft a weekend full of music, workshops, and community connection - we will keep you updated.
At this time, we have a sample of what is to come! In 2026, you can look forward to...
Create with Purpose
Our workshops are more than just activities—they’re spaces to make something real, together. From cyanotype printing to earthen building, we highlight hands-on creativity rooted in place, story, and shared experience. Whether you come to learn, play, or teach, you'll leave with more than you arrived with.
Listen Beyond Genre
Our live music performances span genres, scenes, and sonic traditions. Sunshine Festival is a fusion at its core—bringing together country, folk, house, techno, and everything in between. Different styles, same heart. Come ready to listen with open ears and dancing feet.
Roam into Wonder
From guided group rides to unstructured wandering, our recreational offerings invite you to explore the land that holds us. Take the scenic route. Breathe deep. Watch the sun shift on the mountains. Whether you're pedaling, hiking, or pausing, this is a festival that moves at nature’s pace.
Flow by Design
Sunshine Festival is built with accessibility and intention at its core. We believe joy should be navigable—for all bodies, budgets, and backgrounds. As we grow, we’re listening closely. Got feedback or ideas to help us do better? We welcome your input. This flow is collaborative.
