The story

TD Sunfest in London

Sunfest is a free multi-day world music festival held each July in London, Ontario's Victoria Park, showcasing performers and cuisines from across Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean and the Middle East. Running since the early 1990s with TD Bank as title sponsor, it favors genres underrepresented on mainstream Canadian festival bills and draws crowds across a shaded downtown park setting.

Sunfest has grown into one of Canada's largest celebrations of world music and multicultural performance since its founding in the early 1990s, filling London, Ontario's Victoria Park each July with free outdoor programming that spans dozens of countries and musical traditions in a single weekend.

The place changes

02

The mystery stays covered

Programming deliberately favors world music genres, Afrobeat, flamenco, reggae, and traditional Asian and Latin forms, rather than treating multicultural acts as a supporting slot within a mainstream lineup

The city starts moving

Victoria Park's shaded downtown setting keeps the festival walkable and integrated with the rest of London, and the food vendor marketplace matches the international scope of the music program
