Last year's festival
The 2011 Marrickville Festival saw huge crowds of over 30,000 descend upon Marrickville and Illawarra Roads in Marrickville for a brilliant day of sunshine, warm temperatures, and over a hundred stalls and stands to browse.
The arts, crafts, foods, community services, and entertainment all had a local focus.
Marrickville Council thanks everyone who made it down to the festival, as well the businesses that helped make the day a success, as well as festival sponsor gotalk mobile, media partner Inner West Courier and supporters Commonwealth Bank, IKEA Tempe and Petersham RSL.
