Basque Park Summer Series | Saturday 13 December | 11am - 3pm
From December 13th, Basque Park will host a new summer community event series. The park’s natural amphitheatre, shady trees, sculptures, seating, and pathways make it the perfect Uptown location for people to gather, relax, and connect.
After years of nearby construction, this is a chance to celebrate the creativity and diversity that make Uptown special.
Bring your family and friends for a relaxed day out with live music, markets, performances, food, and workshops. You can also meet volunteers from a range of local non-profits and learn something new about the various causes in your community.
Programming is by Anya Vitali from Cross Street Festival with support from Eliette's Music Academy, ensuring a great line-up of musicians and DJs, and performers across the December, February, and March events.
The series is supported by the Uptown Business Association and will feature both a group marquee of local creators and individual business stalls.
Event attendees are encouraged to walk, bus, or scooter to the park rather than drive. Basque Park is easily accessible from Newton Road, Symonds Street, New North Road, and Ian McKinnon Drive.
Exmouth St is the best drop off point for Uber and for mobility access, Rendall Place leads straight to the park's concrete pathways.
