Based on attendance at previous festival events, we anticipate an audience of around 2500 people reflecting the Gungahlin community and who are keen to connect with community and services in their local area. The region is incredibly culturally diverse, and the audience is largely made up of families with young children.

You are welcome to sell products, provide information, run activities and host giveaways at your stall!
