Summers Winds What to Expect
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, about 1 km before the Victoria Beach gates.
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.
