PARKING & BOATS

There will be three secure car parks provided for festival goers for the duration of the festival weekend in Wisemans Ferry. Festival attendees will park their cars and catch a boat from the Wisemans Ferry wharf to the festival event area. So the fun starts before you have even reached the festival site!

To avoid traffic delays and waiting times for ferries this year we are asking you to think about your arrival date and time so that we can plan accordingly. The website will prompt you to think about the following.

CAR PARK TICKETS

Please note a car parking charge will be applicable for the entire weekend. We urge you to purchase car parking tickets in advance from the ‘Buy Tickets’ section as car parking spaces are limited.  There are three car parks and the route you take will depend upon which car park you have been assigned to. Security will be operating in the car parks for the duration of the festival and further details such as directions, map and car parking costs will be provided prior to the event.

Once the car park tickets have sold out patrons can only access the festival via coach.

NSW Traffic police will be patrolling the Wisemans Ferry area throughout the duration of the event issuing parking fines and towing vehicles who are illegally parked.
