Get the family involved this summer
Hi locals! Looking for something to do with your kids this summer? The Hamilton Gardens Arts Festival has something to offer everyone – even the littlest of festival-goers.
The weekends are full of great kids’ events, from a toddler boogie and princess sing-along to the Family Fun Day on Saturday 23 February. Bring a picnic or grab something from one of our food trucks, and settle in for a day of free children’s films, a ukulele jam, and of course the classic teddy bear’s picnic.
We’d love to see you there!

Festival Co-Directors
