Eclectic line-up ranged from West African to Korean performers, along with rock and blues legends

Performers from across the country and around the world were in Courtenay over the weekend for the Vancouver Island MusicFest.

The event takes place each year in the bucolic atmosphere of the Comox Valley Exhibition Grounds, with multiple performances happening simultaneously at six stages.

A little bit of rainfall didn’t stop big crowds from turning out, including many who camped on-site. For more information about the festival, see www.islandmusicfest.com or look for Vancouver Island MusicFest on Facebook.
