A festival weekend can mean something different to everyone 🩷
Maybe it’s discovering your new favourite artist, staying on the dance floor past bedtime, finding inspiration in an art installation, or watching your kids discover the music, creativity and community that have always made grassroots festivals special for you.
At The Wind Down, there’s space for all of it, with a festival experience designed for the whole family!
Swipe through and tell us what you’d love to see more of in 2027! 👉

There’s a certain kind of freedom that comes with a weekend at a grassroots festival.
Good music, familiar faces, new friends, and a few days outside of your usual routine 🌅
The Wind Down brings that feeling together with room for the whole family to make the weekend their own.
What’s the part of festival weekends you look forward to most? 🧡 Let us know below! 👇

Congratulations to Alex W, the winner of our Wind Down Thanksgiving giveaway! 🧡 We hope you love your new Wind Down merch and thank you for being a part of our community!
As we start thinking about next year, we’d really love to hear from you. Our post-festival survey is now live, and we’re inviting everyone who joined us to share their thoughts, favourite moments, and ideas for the next edition.
Putting Wind Down together is a labour of love, and getting to share it with all of you makes it worthwhile. We know everyone experiences the festival a little differently, and we genuinely want to hear what mattered to you, what you’d change, and what you’d love to see next year.
If you have a few minutes, head to our Stories or the link in our bio to complete the survey. Your feedback means a lot to us, and we’re so grateful to have you as part of our Wind Down family! 🌈✨

Missing moments like these ☀️
Good people, sunshine, and nowhere else to be. The kind of afternoon that makes you slow down, sit a little longer, and soak it all in.
We’re missing our Wind Down fam, but we’re already looking forward to our next reunion and back at work dreaming up the next edition 🧸
If you could add one thing to the weekend, what it be? Let us know in the comments; we’d love to hear your input!

We miss you already, Wind Down fam 🫂💜
Last Thursday, we opened the gates and welcomed you in. Somehow, a whole week has already passed, and we’re looking ahead to next year.
The little moments, the people you met, the laughs, the late nights, the things you didn’t plan for but will remember anyway.
What’s one moment you’re taking home with you from this year’s Wind Down? ✨

Thank you, to the people who brought The Wind Down to life 🌈
So much of what makes a weekend like this special happens behind the scenes. Early mornings, long days, late nights, problem-solving, laughter, teamwork and countless little moments of care.
To our staff, crew, volunteers, dancers, A/V techs, artists, builders, vendors, Kids Zone operators, grounds caretakers and everyone who showed up and gave a piece of themselves to this weekend: we’re so grateful for you.
Thank you for believing in what we’re building, for looking out for one another and for helping create a place where families, friends and community can come together 🩷
We couldn’t do this without you!
Looking forward to doing this all over again with you all next year. Thank you 🙏
