Playground Weekender 2011 in 4 States WHILE your usual one-day festivals have you working up a sweat trying to race between stages to catch your favourite acts, Playground Weekender 2011 is spread over four days – so you can sit back, relax and enjoy everything the festival has to offer, including of course the ace lineup of live bands and DJ’s.
Located a mere ninety minutes outside of Sydney, on the Hawkesbury River, the festival can we summed up in one word – unique. Voted Best Crowd and Atmosphere in 2009 and 2008, there’s a reason why so many have escaped the city and visited the coast for a mix of international artists, local talent and a lot of quirky fun over the four days.
Just some of the highlights on offer include six stages of music, an outdoor cinema, cabaret, a cocktail bar, a relaxing riverside area, international cuisine, market stalls, the biggest fancy dress party, the Club Tropicana swimming pool and a bunch of other surprises.
Get your tents ready, and if you’re keen there’s also a bunch of sideshows happening around the country for you to check out. We’ve highlighted our favourite six below, but for more information visit playgroundweekender.com.au
