Soulfest Canada was an outdoor concert held at Logos Land Resort from June 27, 28 and 29, 2003. SoulFest Canada was the dream of Shawn Alexander. Shawn was born in Manitoba, and grew up in St. Catharines, Ontario.

In 1997, Shawn joined with Dan Russell of New Sound Concerts in Massachusetts, US to co-produce a Christian Music Festival called the Inside Out Soul Festival. This event is held each year the first weekend in August at Loon Mountain in Lincoln, New Hampshire, US. This year the name was shortened to SoulFest, and the event is being held from July31st to August 3rd.

For several years, Shawn has had a desire to have a similar Festival in Ontario. In 2003 this long-term dream came to fruition.
