Halifax came alive on Saturday, 27 September with the very first Rock N Croc Festival, held at Riverview Park behind the Spar. From 2:00pm, campers, locals, and visitors gathered to enjoy an afternoon and evening packed with laughter, food, and great entertainment.

Despite the heat, many festivalgoers kept cool with snowcones while the bar proved a popular stop. As the sun went down, live music filled the park, with local performers and headline act Slippery Gypsy keeping the crowd engaged with a mix of originals and covers.

Market stalls offered an eclectic range of treasures, including handmade woven mats, plants, jerky, crystals, books, toys, jewellery, and 3D printed curiosities. There were also fun services on hand, with rainbow hair extensions and glitter adding sparkle to the occasion.

Families embraced the festival atmosphere, with children playing ball games and running about being lively, while motoring enthusiasts admired the retro cars and bikes on display. Disaster preparation teams such as the S.E.S. and the Halifax Fire Brigade were also present, providing valuable advice ahead of the wet season.

The Rock N Croc Festival highlighted the strength and spirit of Halifax, bringing locals, visitors, and volunteers together for a memorable day. With such strong community support and enthusiasm, the festival has the potential to become a regular and celebrated event on the district�E��E�E���E��Es calendar.
