We aren’t encouraging you to drink, but hey, revenues from the beer garden do help support our Festival operations.

The Marketplace:

In between listening to all the great music - check out our marketplace. First of all, there’s all that great shopping and eating along Queen Street East; then there’s our own vendors, set up along the street and in the park and offering you a great variety of foods to sample and products to purchase. Last but not least, there's our arts and crafts exhibit area located in Kew Gardens, featuring original handcrafted goods and even services, by local artists and crafts people. Over the years this juried arts and crafts show has featured unique jewellery and clothing, original artwork in its many forms and other rare finds, all to remember your Festival experience by.

Need Child Care?

Our Festival is very kid friendly. But if you’re arriving with kids and would like a bit of quality time with the other adults in your life - consider dropping them off at the Beach’s own BizzyBee PlayCentre - our child care partners.
