C

anada boasts some of the world’s best
festivals and your Subaru is the ideal travel
choice for both inside and outside the city.

Subarus have plenty of space and tremendous versatility
to get you where you need to go in true comfort and
classic style. Your vehicle’s exceptional handling with
full-time symmetrical AWD and optimal fuel efficiency
boosts its environmental
performance.
The superior versatility
and energy associated
with Subaru calls forth
the freedom of attending
a summer festival. The
community-driven,
artistic setting inspires
unforgettable memories
that last a lifetime. More
than a traditional concert,
music festivals offer
assorted performances
both energizing and intimate. Although single-act concerts
provide fantastic musical exposure, festivals last longer
and are more fluid. With plenty of performers in the mix,
festivals generate ongoing excitement – all day and often for
an entire weekend or more. Frequently held outdoors, the
atmosphere shifts with the weather. If you’re lucky, you could
find yourself dancing under a starry night sky.
Unfortunately, bad weather can easily dampen an
otherwise fantastic festival. Sunburns and bugs can also
spoil the day so it’s important to come prepared. Regardless
of the forecast, if you’re spending the day outside, consider
packing an umbrella, waterproof jacket and change of

clothes. If it’s hot out, wear a hat, apply sunscreen
frequently and bring a blanket to sit on. Remember
to drink lots of fluids.
Occasionally it’s hard to find somewhere to sit. Some
festivals are a maze of crowds and competing shows.
It’s important to find the right one for you. The right
festival invigorates your soul and inspires special
memories. We’ve compiled a list to help you discover
Canada’s best festival scene.
