TD Sunfest, billed as Canada?s premier world music festival and a celebration of world cultures, is under way in nearby London, Ontario, and runs through July 7. This fun-filled annual event has been voted a Top 100 Ontario Festival and Best Local Festival/Event courtesy of a clearly satisfied audience.
TD Sunfest brings together an eclectic roster of performers that span the globe ? from Algeria to the United Kingdom. The event has evolved into a must-see attraction and now draws more than 225,000 visitors annually!
This year will be no exception, as big names ? Africa?s reggae icon Alpha Blondy, Malian vocalist and rising star Fatoumata Diawara, and Romania?s hottest Gypsy brass band Fanfare Ciocarlia ? rub shoulders with intriguing new voices from across the Americas. New to TD Sunfest this year will be ?The SUNsational Soul & Afrofunk Experience 2013,? attracting headliners from The Ivory Coast, Trinidad & Tobago, Mali, the United Kingdom and Canada.
?One of the main things that distinguishes TD Sunfest is continued audience accessibility,? said Executive and Artistic Director Alfredo Caxaj, himself a Guatemalan refugee. ?It?s so beautiful to see Latin American or North African families arriving in the park, having lunch and discovering something new. We offer a global village in one convenient location, with the flavors and tastes of the whole world.? The venue for TD Sunfest ? the spacious, green and tree-lined Victoria Park ? helps create the ideal festival atmosphere.
