Gather the whole family and stroll in the park amongst an astonishing array of unconventional exhibitions and entertainment in the fresh air. Jazz trios, string quartets, solo instruments, African marimba bands, steel drum bands and buskers as well as Jazz and Blues artists will provide nonstop entertainment within the park.
Bid on a work of art, listen to buskers, ride a horse-drawn cart. A showcase of antique and classic cars will provide a glimpse into the artistry of the automobile. Art auctions will be held throughout the day, creating interest and energy around exhibited artworks. Horse drawn carriages will add a nostalgic touch for big people and pony rides will keep the little ones happy for hours. A play park and kids’ art workshops will spark their imagination and work off some excess energy.
While the sun sets the festival shifts gear as the fire flies come out with the stars and exhibits are lit to create a whole new dimension. The bandstand will provide soothing Jazz and Blues sounds and a well stocked bar will keep the sundowners flowing. Foodies won’t be forgotten either - the culinary quarter will get you salivating with delectable, creative fare.
