SunFest 2023 was held from Friday, May 5, 2023 – Sunday, May 7, 2023. This 3 day festival was filled with music from major headliners and local bands. Located in downtown West Palm Beach, Florida, SunFest 2023 treated festival goers with a weekend of amazing music and beautiful water views.
SunFest 2023 had two stages this year, named Ford Stage and Ideal Nutrition Stage. The vibe of the weekend was fun, happy, and high energy. The weekend encouraged everyone to discover new music and also to enjoy long time favorites.
The street and paths between the stages were set up with stands offering various tastes and beverages, as well as an assortment of art activities. Out on the fields, beach balls were often the activity of choice.
