Festival of the Sun (FOTSUN) is an annual outdoor music festival held in December at the Sundowner Breakwall Tourist Park, Port Macquarie, New South Wales, Australia.
Originally launched by Simon Luke who had starting running numerous small free festivals in the region with funds pulled together from small local business support with the concept of building a live arts industry in the region.
Festival of the Sun had really officially become known by 2003 once it was moved into the local tourist park still as a free festival with self funding.
2005 was the first ticketed year attracting approximately 1200 people.
Festival of the Sun will be coming into its 17th official year in 2022.
