Crystal Palace Overground Festival, Crystal Palace Park

Since local traders first started the Crystal Palace Overground Festival as a community project in 2006, the celebration has grown exponentially, and now features dozens of family-friendly activities in beautiful Crystal Palace Park.

After a brief sabbatical, the Crystal Palace Overground Festival is back with an impressive range of diverse and fun (and free, unless otherwise stated) activities for every age group. The festival will showcase the very best theatre, arts, fashion and street food through a wide range of workshops.

We've rounded up some options for the whole family. Read on...
