Winter solstice festival

Part fundraiser, part winter solstice celebration and all things farm.

Alongside the Camperdown Commons, Sydney’s favourite urban farm Pocket City Farms is welcoming the winter season with a family-friendly solstice celebration featuring fresh fair food, farm tours, workshops, live entertainment and market stalls from local sustainability initiatives, businesses and social enterprises. 

The festivities kick off at the Camperdown farm on 22nd June at 12pm with a Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremony, followed by fun urban farming-based workshops, farm tours, face painting, lantern making workshops and a lantern parade, amongst the local pop up market stalls and live music. We are also thrilled to announce the launch of our new Indigenous cultural garden, designed and built by Deadly Ed – an Aboriginal education, bush tucker garden and art provider!

Pocket City Farms is a charity and social enterprise, passionate about providing fair food opportunities and food security urban farming initiatives across Australia’s unused cityscapes.

Since opening in June 2016, Pocket City Farms and The Camperdown Commons has become a hub for the local community; to visit and enjoy the farm greenery, get their hands dirty volunteering on the farm, attend environmentally-minded workshops, yoga classes and learn the circular process of food and how it is grown.
