SUNFEST WILL RUN FROM APRIL 28 - MAY 1, 2022. TICKETS CAN BE PURCHASED DIRECTLY THROUGH THE SUNFEST WEBSITE
SunFest, Florida’s largest music, art and waterfront festival, announces the lineup for the highly anticipated 2022 event. The festival that has provided a springtime soundtrack along its outdoor, palm-lined ¾ mile setting for nearly 40 years – is striking a chord for its variety of performers and upbeat, more-than-just-music offerings for sunseekers to reunite with friends. The national headliners scheduled to perform on the Ford, Ideal Nutrition and LaBovick Law Group stages include:
“We are excited to bring music back to the waterfront and be in person with our friends at a festival that is at the center of so many people’s stories and memories,” said Executive Director Paul Jamieson. “In 2022, we’re presenting national and local artists who appeal across generations and musical tastes. SunFest has become a very unique time of year that brings people from all walks of life and all ages together in a perfect setting. For many people SunFest is more than an event, it’s a state of mind.”
