Good Times festival was amazing. From the time we arrived... friendly and welcoming. The bar was well organised and there was a good variety of food to be had. The music was great and the turnaround of artists was really quick.

It felt well organised and safe and I appreciated the communication I received leading up to the event. Much as I'm tempted to keep this as a secret, I would highly recommend and I'm already looking forward to next time!
