With more diversity, cultural and artistic events than ever
Celebrate diversity at the annual community-organised Grey Lynn Park Festival on Saturday 19 November from 9.30am to 6pm.
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 and Rosie’s Fun Fair, Farmyard Fun Circus and other activities.
Discover new market stalls. Come and listen and talk to experts at the TALK TENT on environmental sustainability, New Zealand Herbal Medicine, Qigong, Essentially Men’s Group, Grey Lynn Cohaus Community Composting.
So much to enjoy: watch out for the bin fairies and clown doctors; Machine Park gives lovers of steam engines a treat and a yarn; engage with the Circus Kumarani, the little entertainment company, song writers for climate change; be uplifted by Kimata’s African sound and a host of other roaming performers.
For the main stage we have a great line-up of live music this year with some up-and-coming young musicians from the greater Auckland area including:
Yah Yah – Coast Arcade – Skinnyandsoft – Levyne – Who Shot Scott – Franko Heke – Base FM showcase - Voices of Ukraine and the Grey Lynn School Kapa Haka Group.
Plus the Base FM Soundsystem stage all day from 10am – 6pm.
But wait, there’s more: a smaller stage featuring The Ministry of Folk - grab a place on the grass and enjoy an eclectic mix of some of Auckland’s top acoustic musicians.
Remember we are a zero-waste-festival, so while having fun with the bin fairies put your waste in the right bin and we will compost it or recycle it.
The festival runs from 9.30am to 6pm. There will be an EFTPOS machine but put cash in your pocket, grab that sun hat and a smile on your dial.
