About

The Sundog Festival kicks off with an outdoor DJ Dance Party on Friday, September 18th in Polson Park—a vibrant, high‑energy celebration that sets the tone for the entire weekend. Attendees can expect an evening of dancing under the open sky, artisan vendors, food trucks, and the lively atmosphere of the Funtastic beer garden. This free, all‑ages gathering brings the community together to celebrate creativity, connection, and the start of two days of arts and culture to kick off Culture Days in Vernon.
