Windfest 2018! July 27-29
Windfest 2018! July 27-29
Celebrating (at least) 16 years, Windfest is back for 2018
This is a 100% volunteer run grass roots festival celebrating the wind at Nitinat Lake. Thank you to the Ditidaht First Nation for allowing us to hold the event on their territory.
Now we need YOU! We need 60 people to register to keep the lights on each year, so if you want Windfest to continue please sign up. http://windfest.ca/registration/
Updates for this year:
All event apparel is 100% made in Canada by Anian and designed by Alicia la Rue
It is a family event, so please keep the partying out of the camp site, and on the beach. Pick up all your trash, we will have lots of trash cans/ recycling on site. Respect the fire ban if there is one.
We are pleased to present the following FREE live music acts this year
- The Leg Up Program- a 17 piece ska
- Dug Nugget - homegrown bluegrass
- The Phatphunks - an 8 piece ska/ funk
- The Lost Bouys- a west coast rock/ reggae
- Nesan Furtado – Ocean Rodeo’s house DJ
We could not put on Windfest without these sponsors. Registrations only pay for 30% (!!) of the cost of the event. That means 70% of the cost is paid for by these beautiful companies. Please support them in return.
