2012 West Coast Festival Schedule

Welcome to the Sunset Labs 2012 West Coast Festival Schedule! Festivals play a central role in our music & arts culture, providing a magical container within which artistic creation is birthed, invited, expressed, shared, and celebrated! If you are reading this – you likely have been to a few of the events we have listed below. And I expect some will be on your ‘hit list’, or perhaps new to you altogether! Here we’ve brought together a list of gatherings ranging from southern california to Vancouver Island and everything in between. Even a few that aren’t so ‘west coast’, but share that same flavour and we just couldn’t leave them out!

We hope you will explore these amazing gatherings, and where possible, attend – contribute – share! And if we are missing something that should be on this list – do please let us know the when / where / what of it – along with some links – and we’ll be sure to add it to the calendar. Here’s to another epic year of co-creation & celebration!
