The stunning festival site is situated on the banks of the Hawkesbury River at Wiseman’s ferry, only an hour and  a half drive from Sydney. Words can’t explain how amazing the site is ….... River, trees, bushland, hills, lake, furry animals … Feel relaxed yet ?

The Playground Weekender will break ground musically and conceptually, creating an adult fun fair of attractions and amusements. Embrace your inner child and come and join the fun.
