THE BIG MALARKEY FESTIVAL

MONDAY 15 JUNE - SUNDAY 21 JUNE 2026

The Big Malarkey Festival returns to East Park on Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 June 2026 with a host of fabulous authors, dancers, illustrators, actors and musicians. This year our theme is ‘It’s a Malarkey Mystery!’ - we’ll be encouraging children to use their imaginations, practice problem solving, develop their critical thinking skills, enjoy sharing stories and ideas, and discover their own creative power alongside professional artists.
