The festival is eftpos free, so don’t go home disappointed make sure you are cashed up for the day.

Many of the stallholders love the Grey Lynn Park Festival for the chance it gives them to bring their products and their passions to the public. Community groups and clubs get the chance to do some fundraising and profile themselves. With the capture of many city events by commercial interests and sole right sponsorships, the Festival provides inclusive grass roots support for individual entrepreneurs and artists that has been eroded from many other public events.

We call for the public to support our small organisation by helping out with the costs of putting on the event by buying a programme for $1 or $2 from our official collectors. Not leaving us too much rubbish to pay for in the cleaning up costs. Not causing us grief with alcohol fuelled behaviours. Watch out for your cars, with a huge crowd you may want to catch public transport or carpool, bring the sunscreen and get ready for an awesome day.

The festival runs from 9.30am till 5.30pm.

Regards, Grey Lynn Park Festival Trust Board.
