About Duo Caméo
Caméo brings together two voices that don’t seek to recreate songs as they once were, but to bring them back to life in a new way. Michael Cameron and Aude Ray reinterpret vintage-inspired French-language folk-pop songs through close vocal harmonies, stripped-back arrangements, and a gentle atmosphere that is both cinematic and relaxed. Their musical universe lives somewhere between memory, the sea, the open road, and those emotions we feel before we can put them into words. The duo carefully selects songs that have stood the test of time—songs with memorable harmonies, meaningful lyrics, and choruses you thought you already knew.

About Penny Belle
Penny Belle is a soul-infused folk rock band performing original songs in both French and English, featuring carefully crafted vocal arrangements, rich harmonies, and a vibrant brass section. Their music is joyful, uplifting, and fun for the whole family. Expect sing-alongs and songs that inspire reflection.
About Madame B
Kimara Brilling, also known as Madame B, loves to sing and bring harmony to the world. Her background in film, theatre, and dance inspires rich, multidimensional creations filled with creativity and sensitivity.
Learn more about the artist – click here

About DJ Luxine
DJ Luxine was born from a simple observation: French-language club music is almost nonexistent, even though it has everything it takes to move a crowd. After performing in France and later moving to Canada, he launched a project in 2025 blending house, techno, and electronic music with both French and English vocals. His goal is to create energetic bilingual DJ sets where emotion matters more than language. He also performed at Plaza Franco 2025, proving that French has a place on dance floors around the world.

7:00 – 8:00 p.m. – Miguelito Valdes Trio

5:00 – 6:00 p.m. – THE GLADSTONES
The Gladstones are a Victoria band that would rather chase a groove than play it safe. Rick (sax), Jareth (guitar), Peter (bass), and Todd (drums) have spent the past year turning favourite old soul, jazz, funk, and reggae tunes into springboards for extended, exploratory jams — long grooves, rotating solos, and a willingness to follow a song wherever it wants to go. They’ve recently welcomed vocalists Lauren and Allison into the fold, adding new voices to the mix. With original material steeped in those same influences and a relaxed, no-pressure energy that comes from a band of friends who just love to play, expect a set that’s equal parts tight and unpredictable.

6:00 – 7:00 p.m. – STRAIGHT COLD PLAYERS
Their musical universe is a vibrant blend of Latin rhythms, soul, jazz, and funk. Through energetic and engaging performances, they create a festive, welcoming atmosphere that naturally invites audiences to dance and celebrate together. Their music stands out for its contagious energy and its ability to bring people from all backgrounds together. Each performance offers a memorable and convivial experience, driven by a genuine passion for live music and sharing unforgettable moments with the audience. The perfect band to energize any celebration and get the crowd moving.

7:00 – 8:00 p.m. – MIGUELITO VALDES TRIO
Described as one of the most acclaimed Cuban trumpeters of his generation, Miguelito Valdes has performed with many of Cuba’s leading artists and contributed to several award-winning recordings. Since moving to Victoria, he has become an active member of the local music scene and has collaborated with the SFV on numerous occasions. The trio—Miguelito Valdes on trumpet, Cynthia Rodriguez on piano, and Hector Ramos on congas—will have audiences moving to the captivating rhythms of Cuban music.

This exceptional ensemble performs an eclectic array of musical gems from across the globe including traditional and contemporary tunes in various styles from far reaching places including Ireland, Scotland, Algeria, Brazil, Quebec, USA and more. The trio continues to appear at national and international festivals from the Pacific to the Atlantic and beyond, and they are most always honoured with a standing ovation wherever they perform.
