This weekend we checked out the first ever Sundaze Music and Arts festival in beautiful Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. Primarily know for the Cavendish Beach Music Festival, this is the first festival to be held on the island in recent memory that has not been a country festival. There were over 10 acts to take the stage over two days, including T-Pain, Cheat Codes and X Ambassadors. The entire weekend was full of music, art, sunshine and good vibes. Check out our full music recap below!

I don’t know what mother nature has against country music this summer but I’m starting to see a pattern here. Festival Country de Lotbinière, it rained. Country night 1 featuring Eric Church, it rained and delayed the gates by 2 hours nearly threatening the night’s entertainment. Country Night 2, last night…it rained delaying the gates by 2 hours nearly threatening the night’s entertainment…anyone else see the pattern here? In all three cases the show was able to go on and country music fans came out in large numbers to party, country style.

Impeccable timing courtesy Mother Nature meant the “Severe Thunderstorm Warning” that took effect for the Calgary area rolled through and wrapped up just in time to let the music start up for the evening’s outdoor shows.
