Grey Lynn Park Festival is a long-running, one day community festival in Auckland filled with music, arts and entertainment. This year’s festival falls on Saturday 19th November, 2022. Operating for over 35 years and organised annually by the Grey Lynn Park Festival Trust, this zero waste festival has over 10,000 people expected to attend – a mix of local families, groups of friends, market shoppers and music lovers. Each year sees a dedicated crowd of returning attendees each year to discover a range of local music acts and performances from diverse cultural groups and local schools. Running from 9:30am until 6pm, Grey Lynn Park Festival will host various local performers at Grey Lynn Park, Grosvenor St, Auckland. The proudly zero waste event includes the returning ‘Tent Talks’ to educate and empower communities to connect with their ecosystems. A curated selection of speakers will present throughout the day. Over 250 creative stalls will return to the festival selling unique art and original items, as well as roving performers. Grey Lynn Park Festival looks forward to welcoming everyone back in 2022.
