Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Festival

• If you’re driving to the festival then follow the signs from the Princes Highway and get to the main entry gate of the Bulli Showgrounds. Click for map.

• If you’re using public transport then walk up to the main entry gate and head for the Festival Office.

• Make sure you get a full programme when you do the Festival Pass / wristband exchange at the Festival at the entry. This is your guide to the venues, performers and general information. Click here for a Festival Site Map.

• If you are drving there is free parking in the showground. After getting your wristbands park the car and head for the Global Green or the Slacky Flat Festival Bar, sit down, grab a refreshment and take a few minutes to study the programme.

• There are 12 venues to choose from. You can either decide who you want to see and when or just take pot luck! Having a highlighter pen is a good idea. Mark the events you want to catch.

• However you may get waylaid by buskers, poets, parades, dancing, impromptu sessions....

• Don’t panic if you can’t make up your mind! Chances are you won’t know any of the acts. Just walk the site! You’ll discover music you’ve never heard or you’ll end up dancing, reciting or just watching. If you don’t like what you see move onto another venue.

• If all this fails, head for the Festival Bar or the Global Green again. There’s food and drink there to fill and refresh your soul.
  Hint: Have a chat with the bar staff - they usually know most of the acts and can give you a hand deciding on what to do.

• Don’t forget at some point to do some exercise and get up to the Grevillea Park for a concert or two. It’s well worth enjoying the natural ambience of the venues there.

• At the end of the day (night) and if you’ve still got energy then hang around the Festival Bar as the musicians will be up for a tune or two. Sometimes the best music is played spontaneously at these late sessions!

• Remember to have fun, but be courteous to your fellow friends when leaving!
