The Venue - Lions Park at Garden Bay
Lions Park at Garden Bay
Nestled in the forest, among the lakes & ocean vistas of Garden Bay, BC lies a beautiful wonderland known as Lions Park.
With a backdrop of breathtaking mountains and forest, our new site takes the Bonfire Music Festival into a larger realm of adventure... with a big grassy Concert Field, children's playground, forest camping, a running creek, walking/biking trails, bridges, lots of daytime shade and thatęconsistently easygoing feel synonymous with the Upper Sunshine Coast.
Our new venue hosts with the Pender Harbour Lions Club have been nice enough to give Bonfire a new home in our old neighbourhood, so there will still be all the great local amenities available to the patrons of the Bonfire Music Festival this year, including the nearby lakes & shopping district.
You are all going to be pleasantly surprised when you set foot onto our new home, we sure were!!
