SunFest started as a 10-day event with free admission. It drew big numbers in 1983, but lost money before it was shortened to a three-day event in 1984. It lasted 40 years before its finale in 2024. SunFest, a popular Florida music festival, ran from 1983 to 2024. The festival featured diverse musical acts, art, food, and family entertainment. After a three-year hiatus due to the pandemic, SunFest returned in 2022 with limited attendance.

The music grew bolder, bigger and louder during the course of SunFest's magical 42-year run before coming to a sudden stop this year. In many ways, the origins of West Palm Beach's waterfront extravaganza are a reflection of how the city evolved over the past four decades, starting out in the spring of 1983 as a small local jazz and arts festival before quickly transforming into a mega-concert series that booked big acts over the course of a four- and five-day span.

SunFest, a large waterfront music and art festival, began in 1983 as a small local event called the Royal Palm Festival. The festival was originally a 10-day event with free admission but was shortened to three days in 1984 after losing money. Over the years, SunFest shifted its focus from jazz and art to a wider variety of music, attracting larger and younger audiences.
