Planning Your Trip

  
​What to Expect - How to Make Your Summer Winds Family Music Festival Experience the Best Yet!  The venue is located at the Beaches Community Centre (formerly Victoria Beach Community Centre) - just off of Hwy 59 North (aka: Arthur Rd)
​
Bike Valet Parking is available. Summer Winds provides free, safe and secure parking in a fenced area. Bike Valet parking is like a coat check for bicycles. Patrons are issued a claim check in exchange for their bikes and out volunteer staff guard them in a secured area while you can sit back and enjoy the music knowing your bike is safe. 
  
The Festival offers a beer garden. This year the beer garden will be open until 12:00 a.m. Friday and Saturday Nights. Photo ID is required to be shown at the gate in order to be able to purchase alcohol.
