About PondFest
PondFest is a one-day community celebration in Hyde Park, known for its lively atmosphere and engaging activities that bring people together in the heart of the Village Green. This beloved summer tradition offers something for everyone, whether you’re a nature enthusiast, a music lover, or simply seeking a fun day out with family and friends.
At the center of PondFest is the unveiling of a unique community piano, a collaborative art project painted by talented students from Oakridge Secondary School. The piano remains in the park all summer, inviting visitors to create their own music and memories.
In addition to the piano reveal, PondFest features an incredible lineup of local bands, showcasing the musical talent that makes London a UNESCO City of Music. Festivalgoers can also enjoy captivating performances by street entertainers, a variety of vendors, delicious offerings from food trucks, and much more.
Join us at PondFest 2025 for a vibrant celebration of community, creativity, and connection—it’s the highlight of the summer in Hyde Park!
