Our Story
Starting out in the much smaller grounds of Warner’s Park, the festival has grown into a must-attend event, now held at Hill Rise Park, offering even more opportunities for engagement and visibility.

Every year, a dedicated team of volunteers works tirelessly to bring this incredible event to life. From organising top-tier entertainment to securing local food vendors and engaging businesses, this passionate group ensures the festival remains the highlight of the year. Their hard work and commitment make it more than just a weekend of fun—it’s a celebration of community spirit and togetherness.
