Seeing as every Brockwell park festival is getting its own thread, I thought I should put one up for the Gala festival.
It's being billed as more of a fete, although there's a big music line up.
I met the guy behind this and he told me that some of the profits were going to Friends of Brockwell Park and other local concerns although I can't see anything on their website about that: GALA, A Fete of independent music, food and drink.

Tickets £27.50 or £32.50 (early bird £15 tickets have sold out)A Fete of independent music, food and drink. GALA will bring together the very best of South London’s restaurants, bars and parties for one day only. Set against the backdrop of Brockwell Park, expect a feast for all the senses with plenty of fun and games thrown in. We’re turning the classic village Fete on its head, giving this age-old tradition an injection of 2016.
Keeping you dancing we have the area’s best known parties on board to sprinkle some serious vibes over Brockwell Park. Across two stages, our music partners will support a host of internationally recognised DJ’s and artists to get you grooving into the festival season.
All the chefs and restaurants joining us at GALA have amassed huge recognition in recent times and are undoubtedly at the forefront of the South-London food scene. Each will create a unique, seasonal and never-before-seen offering for GALA. Stay tuned over the coming weeks to find out more….
To ensure merriment throughout, we’ve invited the official GALA sponsors Aperol, two much-loved breweries plus a couple of well-known mixologists to fuel the days activities. Sip on summer-inspired cocktails and our very-own bespoke-brewed ale, The “GALA Smooth Rider” made especially for the occasion by Wylam.
Your summer starts here.........
