Why should we vote for your festival?
We're afloat in the big blue sea off the left coast of this incredible country and we celebrate music, living lightly on the planet and building community in equal parts. "It's impossible to experience this festival alone... you could technically go alone... but be prepared to share some truly remarkable memories with the people you meet. MusicFest makes complete strangers feel less strange." - Shayne Koyczan
