Music, cannabis and more: Unicorn Cup returns to the Kootenays with a rebrand

It’s considered a unique blend of music, nature, community and cannabis.

The Unicorn Music Festival will take place from Aug. 11-14 at Rosebud Lake, south of Salmo, in the beautiful West Kootenays.

It’s a new name this year after a rebrand from the Unicorn Cup, but organizers promise the same “unparalleled experience” with three nights of non-stop EDM and live bands.

This year’s music lineup includes Stylust, Neon Steve, Stickybuds, Adham Shaikh, Sean Rodman, Handsome Tiger, Sivz and plenty more.

There’s even a new stage this year, a floating acoustics stage called The Lily Pad that will make for an incredible music experience for attendees.

"We're excited to bring together such a diverse and talented lineup for the 2023 Unicorn Music Festival," says festival founder, Che LeBlanc. "The festival is a celebration of music, nature, community, and cannabis, with something for everyone to enjoy."

While the music will keep people dancing late into the night, the Unicorn Music Festival’s feature attraction is the Rosebud Bowl.

It’s a cannabis comparison and education series where people can learn from industry experts and experience some of the country’s finest cannabis.

“This unique feature sets the Unicorn Music Festival apart from other festivals,” says a release from organizers.

There will also be food trucks, a Unicorn bodega and tea house, along with plenty of live art, art installations and tag artists.

Attendees will also have the chance to connect with experts in holistic wellness, sustainable living and regenerative agriculture, or simply just relax on the beautiful Rosebud Lake.

Tickets to the Unicorn Music Festival are now on sale and can be found, along with more information on the event, online.
