Events
The Grey Lynn Park Festival is held in early summer in Grey Lynn Park. The event celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2009. The event is the last independent community event in the city. It is organised by four dedicated people who raise money from stall fees and charitable grants and give a lot of their time. It attracts thousands of visitors. It started as a local community get-together with working-class and Pacifika roots, though the appeal has broadened through the decades. The 2012 event was cancelled due to forecasts of rain.
