• P3 — Mulga Rd area street parking (via Gungah Bay Rd & Mulga Rd)

Please walk, carpool or catch the train if you can, keep driveways clear, and follow all signage and marshal directions — it's a big weekend for the whole neighbourhood!
Unlimited weekend ride passes are available to purchase online in advance — the best way to ensure your kids get unlimited fun all weekend!
Individual ride tokens are also available for purchase at the festival — token prices drop from 2pm on Sunday.
We have a fantastic range of food stalls serving everything from hot meals to sweet treats — eleven food stalls this year, including food trucks and ice cream.
Dietary options including vegetarian and allergy-friendly foods are available from various vendors.
💵 No ATM on site this year. Most stalls accept card, but a couple run mostly on cash — bring some with you just in case.
Your safety is our priority. NSW Police will be in attendance at this year's festival, providing a safe and welcoming environment for the whole community.
First aid is available on site throughout the event. If you need assistance, please speak with any volunteer or visit the Information Tent near the main entrance.
The festival is held on school grounds with mostly flat, accessible pathways. Prams and wheelchairs are welcome.
