Come for your Christmas shopping, eat from around the world, enjoy our mix of free live music and family friendly fun at Grey Lynn Park on Saturday 18 November from 9.30am - 6pm.
Featuring New Zealand art, crafts, fine fare, music and dance – it’s all there to enjoy without burning a hole in your pocket. Stroll through the market village and meet up with those who prefer the mobile home to the city pad. With offerings for everyone, kids can enjoy amusement rides, circus fun, skateboarding workshops and much more.
Discover new market stalls, listen and learn about environmental sustainability, regenerative urban farms as climate change-ready infrastructure, NZ herbal medicine, essentially men’s group, Grey Lynn Cohaus, Pachamama Alliance and pest free Grey Lynn from experts at our talk tents. While Machine Park gives lovers of steam engines a treat and a yarn.
Engage with Circability, B&T entertainment company, song writers for climate change, Kmiata’s African sound, Tanya Batt’s kamishibai storytelling and a host of other roaming performers, whilst keeping an eye out for the Bin Fairies and Clown Doctors!
Grab a place on the grass an enjoy an eclectic mix of some of Auckland’s top musicians.
The main stage is host to a great line up of live music this year, with a special kapa haka performance to kickstart the festival’s proceedings, followed by performances from an array of upcoming talent including Voice of Ukraine, the West African Percussion Ensemble, Locals Only, Where’s Jai, Junior Junior, The Rvmes, YAHYAH, Reiki Ruawai and LA Women. Plus the Jafa Soundsystem and Ministry of Folk stages will be offering more music throughout the day.
There will be an EFTPOS machine on site, but put cash in your pocket, grab that sun hat and a smile on your dial. 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 or recycle it.
