ERKO BERZERKO
Come to ERKO AND GO BERZERKO
Erko Berzerko returns on Saturday 14 November, 10 am – 4 pm — bigger, better and even more brilliant than the inaugural fair in 2007.
Come along to Erskineville Public School’s huge community festival of enormous fun, amazing bargains, and non-stop free entertainment, the Erko Berzerko Fair.
ABC Radio’s Robbie Buck will MC the amazing free entertainment line-up which includes Lindsay ‘The Doctor’ McDougall from Triple J headlining the music stage, supported by local acts Elliott Weston and The Ragged Light, Blurter, Felicity Wilcox and the Bird Cries Snow, John Kennedy’s ’68 Comeback Special and Bernie Hayes. The Doctor will also go up against Jake Griggs from Something with Numbers in the Erko Busk Off. View the full program here.
A fabulous kidzone offers inexpensive fun with a sustainable edge – make a dishcloth bunny, EVA pinwheel, groovy wallpaper placemat and other cool eco craft. Enjoy games, pony rides, roving entertainers, face painting, airbrush tattoos and play on the inflatable obstacle course, bouncy castle and swinging pirate ship. An added attraction will be two performance of the Dinosaur Petting Zoo from Erth Visual & Physical Inc, one of the few times you can catch the dinosaurs in Sydney this year.
New this Berzerko is a bicycle maintenance area where residents are encouraged to bring your old bike for a $2 tune-up. We’ll fix your brakes, gears, tyres and chain with the help of local cycle shops.
Stalls galore include a massive pre-loved books collection, trash & treasure, toys, original handcrafts and jewellery, plants and herbs from the school’s garden plus loads of incredible food on the cake and Devonshire tea stalls and plenty of delicious food stations.
Make sure you bid in the silent auction by 3pm to score a bargain holiday, family outing, beauty package, gourmet dining, designer fashion and much more – including a cricket bat signed by Matthew Hayden. Or try your luck in the mega raffle, drawn main stage at 4pm.
The day will begin at 10am with a Welcome to Country ceremony. Local dance and martial arts schools, the school band and a Cook Islands dance troupe will also perform.
Erko Berzerko is grateful for the support of Laing & Simmons Newtown and City of Sydney.
