About PondFest

PondFest is a cherished tradition in Hyde Park, known for its lively atmosphere and engaging activities. 

PondFest is focused on unveiling a community piano. Students at Oakridge Secondary School spend their winter semester envisioning an artistic story and then painting it on the piano. During the unveiling, the students can explain their process, and the decisions behind the project. The piano stays in the park throughout the summer, available for the community to play.

PondFest features an incredible lineup of local bands, highlighting the musical richness of London, a UNESCO-designated Music City

Whether you’re a nature enthusiast, a music lover, or simply looking for a day of family-friendly entertainment, PondFest has something for everyone.
