Diary Date: Saturday 21 November. The festival is on with more diversity, cultural and artistic events.
Come for your Christmas shopping, eat from around the world, enjoy our mix of free music and family friendly fun at Grey Lynn Park, Dryden Street, Grey Lynn. New Zealand art, craft, fine fare, music and dance – it’s all there to enjoy without burning a hole in your pocket. Stroll through the gypsy village and meet up with those who prefer the mobile home to the city pad. Kids can enjoy Larry & Rosie’s Fun Fair, Farmyard Fun and other activities. Discover a few new farmer market stalls, learn about permaculture, crafts, and sustainable living at the Talk Tent. Watch out for the bin fairies! Machine Park gives lovers of steam engines a treat and a yarn. Engage with the Circus Kumarani, Marimba Carimbas, AK Samba, and Capoeira performance. The festival has a new feature this year named ‘Tent Talks’ to educate and empower communities to connect with their ecosystems. A curated selection of biodiversity campaigners, environmentalists, and urban planners will speak throughout the day.
We have a great line up of live music this year, some up and coming young musicians from the greater Auckland area.
