Newtown Festival 2013

Overview

Newtown has always been the mecca of the quirky, the creative, the unique and the downright strange. On November 10, it's time to celebrate that vibe of happy wackiness for the 35th time at the 2013 Newtown Festival.

Camperdown Memorial Rest Park will once again be transformed into a hive of artists, musicians and all manner of creative types to celebrate the tolerance and diversity of the local community. On the main Federation Stage, festivalgoers can check out local veteran rockers Dappled Cities, plus a whole host of other homegrown acts. Then, from across the ditch, Home Brew will take to the Essential Stage.

For the first time, the festival will host a Live Arts Hub, a space for local artists to show off their creative experiments to an intrigued public.

One gold coin is all it takes to get into this wonderfully weird celebration, and all donations go to the Newtown Neighbourhood Centre and back into the local community. Remember, the festival has a 'no plastic water bottle sales' policy, so remember to BYO water bottles on the day and fill up at the tap. There's also no BYO, no glass and no entry after 5pm.
