Bringing back the swingin' 60s...
Summer of Love Festival is happening at the ‘Garden of Edendale’, otherwise known as Eltham’s beautiful Edendale Farm, on December 2.
Local events group Culture Jam, who describe themselves as a “swarm of radical minds”, say Summer of Love festival will be an immersive event exploring social change and spiritual parody through the playful lens of 60s counter-culture, appealing for free minds to flock to its new commune, which replaces the home of previous Jam events, Licola Wilderness Village.
