**CHANGE OF DATE: NEW DATE - SUNDAY 6TH OCTOBER 2024**
In a huge celebration of everything that is uniquely Long Jetty - art, culture, music, pre-loved and people, a record 20,000 + locals and tourists alike descended on the streets, shops and lakefront of Long Jetty last year for the inaugural Long Jetty Festival. This year is no different, with the festival back in equally incredible measure for another huge one-day community takeover of ‘The Jetty’ - Sunday 6th October.
With music an integral part of the event’s programming, we are proud to have the incredible talents of Indie Folk duo The Dreggs and NZ’s own Coterie along to headline Mainstage joined by local faves Sun Soli + so much more including local buskers and musicians roaming the foreshore throughout the day. Serving up the best in local and small batch brews and seltzers, our licensed bar area at mainstage is the perfect spot to sip on your favourite craft drops while listening to the stellar line-up of world class and local talent programmed throughout the day.
The area will be bustling with an array of over 250+ stalls, 5 Stages, Activations and Zones catering to all tastes and ages including; The Flea Market - a place to peruse vintage wares, records + plants, Chilli Village for those that dare (don’t miss the chilli eating comp + brand new Hot Dog Eating comp), the Art Zone with live Street art installations and Pinot Picasso’s paint the Jetty, Bark Park for a tail-wagging time for you and your furrever friend, the Green Zone our eco-friendly space with organic fruit and veg producers, the Sport and Rec Zone with Aerial acrobatics and Dance performances or drop by Kiddies Corner for endless pint size fun for the kidlets including Amusement Rides, DJ, Craft and Wildlife Shows. The day will also include cultural and educational talks and workshops and dedicated chill-zones to throw down a blanket overlooking the Coast’s famous, ‘Long Jetty’ for sunset.
