The Real Festival is a two-day celebration of food, music, art and mindful living and it’s an opportunity for residents and visitors to explore and enjoy the Nepean River.
The festival offers different experiences over the two-day program; relax on Friday evening with great food, music and entertainment, then be inspired to take care of your health and the environment through workshops, talks, tours and activities on Saturday.
Penrith Mayor Councillor John Thain said he is delighted to see the Nepean River being activated in this way.
“Our community told us they’d like to see the Nepean River used for more activities and events. Their feedback has helped to inform the concept and design of this festival,” Mayor Thain said.
“This festival explores four key themes; river, environment, art and lifestyle. These themes form the acronym for the event name and have inspired the program of activities, entertainment and experiences over the two days.
“We look forward to delivering this innovative event for our community, welcoming new visitors to the region and showcasing our beautiful Nepean River throughout the event.”
The Real Festival is a free community event held at Tench Reserve, Penrith NSW from November 4 -5. Full event details can be found at
