A popular music and comedy festival in Langford that's free of drugs and alcohol is returning this year.

SoberFest is coming to Starlight Stadium Plaza in July, with proceeds from ticket sales going towards sending people to addiction treatment centres in B.C.

"We’ve sent six people to treatment. Of those six, five have stayed clean," said Mike Manhas, founder of SoberFest and director of Rewired Recovery Foundation.

Last year's event sold out at the Ranger Station in Langford.

This year’s lineup features great local bands including Mostly Motown, The Rainshadow Al Band, Nautical Disaster, Mr. Esq, Details, King Benz, and Octiv 6, and is hosted by Comedian Dan Duval!
