Momentum Fest
Partnerships lead the way and bring a long-term, strategic outlook to events that last just a matter of hours.
Momentum Fest generates revenue, protects the environment, promotes sustainability and above all makes sure everyone,
no matter who they are, has the time of their lives celebrating our City.
In Momentum City our festival…
is universally accessible from all parts of the City
works in partnership with local businesses, transport operators and sponsors;
finances, human resources and knowledge come together
focuses on visitor experience
connects our City’s values: it’s a place for people and also a commitment to our environment
We take inspiration from:
For its cycling challenge, cycling village and overall outlook
– the festival has won several international green and sustainable festival awards
For its ‘Tour de Picnic’, an innovative fundraiser and incentive for festival-goers to arrive by bike or on foot
For its commitment to reducing truck deliveries to the festival. In 2021 the 60 onsite restaurants shared deliveries, achieving a 90% year-on-year reduction
For its approach to universal accessibility, including vibrating backpacks for festival-goers with hearing loss, to ‘feel’ the music.
For the use of micromobility and multimodal access options achieving a 26% sustainable mode share in a rural location
