Sunfest 2019 is in the books for another year of sun, fun, and great music at Lake Cowichan’s Laketown Ranch. Tens of thousands showed up for the four-day country music festival.
There was excitement even when Jason Aldean’s transport trucks showed up a day before his show, so you can imagine the thrill of seeing the superstar onstage at Sunfest on Friday, following a super gig by Canadian country songbird Terri Clark.
By Saturday night, it was time for Maren Morris to bring her No. 1 hit, ‘Girl’, to Sunfest, and she really looked the part with a sizzling set. Even before she hit the stage, the crowd had been treated to an onstage wedding, just to add even more romance to the evening.
Sunday, which turned out to be a real hot one weather-wise, featured some equally hot music onstage, winding up with Michael Ray and then Kip Moore giving the crowd something to talk about until next year.
Thursday was extra special for Lake Cowichan residents as Lindsay Elzinga, who told the crowd, “I grew up just down the street” took to the Main Stage. So many friends and family members showed up to cheer her on that the stage pit took on the atmosphere of a block party, where everyone knows everyone else and newcomers are welcomed to the gang.
So, who’s coming next year? It’s always a big question.
Keith Urban, who was a real crowd pleaser at Sunfest the last time he appeared, will be back to headline at Laketown Ranch as Sunfest celebrates 20 years in 2020.
