Crystal Palace Local

Hello from the new management team for the Crystal Palace Overground Festival, now in its fifth year. We have been working very hard for the last few months to put together the structure of the festival and we are very excited about our plans to take it onto another level, attracting sponsors and extending the festival footprint. Now it’s time to share the plans with you.

This year the festival will be held on Saturday 13 August with several smaller events running in the week leading up to the big day. The festival will include live music, poetry, theatre, comedy, film, food and fashion around the Crystal Palace Triangle with another festival hub in Westow Park. The park will host arts workshops, sports and kids activities and entertainment for all the family.

This is a wonderful opportunity for the people of Crystal Palace to come together for a great day out and thanks to London Overground’s media support, we hope to attract crowds from the surrounding areas to visit our thriving community.

However we couldn’t run this festival without local business and community support. We need performers, arts workshop leaders, festival volunteers and sponsorship so please do get in contact with us if you can help.

The festival is supported by the Crystal Palace and Upper Norwood Chamber of Commerce, platinum sponsors Amphlett Lissimore and gold sponsors PMS Printers

We are currently fundraising for the festival and you will get a perk in return for your donation no matter how small! The more you donate the more we can do – for example if just 400 people donate £5 each, we can have a music stage in Westow Park. To find out more and donate please visit:
