Bring a swim suit and take a swim at Cowichan lake located right near the festival grounds of Laketown Ranch Music Park. The massive lake is about 30 kilometres wide, so you will be able to find a nice quiet beach when you are done at the festival.
But don’t forget what you came for. The Cowichan Valley Bluegrass festival has a lineup of artists you won’t want to miss. Take a look at some of the headliners coming from far and wide to bring music to the Cowichan Valley just an hour and a half north of Victoria.
