The sixth Crystal Palace Overground Festival will take place on 13 – 16 June 2012, with the main day being 16 June. The festival attracted over 4,000 visitors in 2011 and we expect this very popular event to grow and grow.
There are great branding and advertising channels to the festival’s audience – please check out our sponsorship and advertising opportunities page for your chance to reach a local and south London-wide market.
We are now recruiting for volunteers to run the 2012 festival. If you are interested in getting involved in making this year’s festival even bigger and better, please check out the Help organise 2012 page for opportunities on the management committee.
If you would like to run an event under the auspices of the festival and benefit from our marketing reach, then please contact us at info@crystalpalacefestival.org to discuss your proposal.
The 2011 Crystal Palace Overground Festival took place on Saturday 13 August with several smaller events in the week leading up to the big day. The festival included live music, theatre, film, food and fashion around the Crystal Palace Triangle with another festival hub in Westow Park. The park also hosted arts workshops, sports and kids activities and entertainment for all the family.

@mrmarksteel “Crystal Palace Overground festival was marvellous, thousands of people, fine bands, wonderful atmosphere, and if I needed the bog I could nip home.”
“Fantastic day, well done to the organizers and all the great bands, the music was diverse and stretched from the twenties to the modern day GREAT THANKS”
“Had a great day with my 3 year old at the festival. Singing, dancing, bouncy-castle, interesting stalls, hog sandwich, cheeky cider, music, weather and good people. Both too tired after that to enjoy the evening events, but hey-ho always next time!”
