FAQ

Will there be Drop off/ Pick Up & Parking?

We’re encouraging all festival attendees, if driving to drop-off or park at the Cavanbah Centre which will have a dedicated Festival of the Stone carpark. There is a short walk on a pedestrian pathway on Ewingsdale Road that leads directly to our Festival entrance. Only Ubers, buses and taxi’s can drop off directly in front of the brewery on Centennial Circuit.

Will there be a shuttle bus?

We will have a free shuttle bus looping on the hour for the duration of the event from Byron Bay Bus Interchange, Cavanbah Centre Carpark and the festival at Stone & Wood Brewery at Centennial Circuit. There will be more bus shuttles available from 9pm going directly back into Byron via The Northern, then onto the Byron Bus Interchange.

Please ensure all cars are removed from Cavanbah Centre Carpark by 8am on Sunday, 2 June 2024.

Can I park overnight at Cavanbah Centre?

Have fun but please enjoy responsibly, please think of having a designated driver and obeying the rules and not sleeping in cars.

If you're planning on leaving your car overnight, please ensure all cars are removed from Cavanbah Centre Carpark by 8am on Sunday, 2 June 2024.

Is Festival of The Stone Family Friendly?  

Sure is. Little ones very welcome, we have a dedicated kids area – Malt Disney available with kid’s activities from 3-7pm and entertainment to keep them happy!

Don't forget to grab your kids tickets here, they are free for under 12s and $30 for 12-17 year olds.

Will there be road closures around the site? 

Yep. In order to ensure the entrance is kept as clear as possible, only buses, taxis and Ubers allowed down Centennial Circuit while the festival takes place. Road closures will take place from 9am on Saturday on Centennial Circuit South between Brigantine St and Bayshore Dr. Traffic control is in place and never fear there will be detours available.

What if it rains?  

The show will go on! Our main stage is under a marquee and we have our big brewery to cover off the main bar area and the DJ stage. Plenty of dry patches to be had.  

Can I buy takeaway beers? 

Negative. We’ll happily refill your glass, but to take home some of the good stuff, you’ll have to visit one of the awesome local bottleshops or come back and see us another time. 

Will there be food?

Of course! We’ve gathered some of the best local food vendors to offer on site meals and snacks.

Can I bring pets?

While we love our furry friends here at Stone & Wood, a loud festival with lots of people is not the safest or calmest place for them to be. Leave your little loved ones at home for this one. 

What if I want to make an additional donation to Fletcher Street Cottage?

First off, you're a legend! There will be other ways to donate to Fletcher Street Cottage on site.

Fundraising for Fletcher Street Cottage

Each year, Festival of the Stone gives us the chance to give back to the local community. And it’s no different this year. Byron has one of the highest homelessness rates in the country and Fletcher St Cottage do all they can to support our rough sleepers. They provide essential services, wraparound support and hope, empowering Northern Rivers locals experiencing homelessness.
