POYO FEST RETURNS IN 2026: SEE INFO HERE
Our celebration brought together over 40 talented creators, over 1500 excited fans, and an unforgettable day of art, games, and community magic. From exclusive workshops to sold-out merch and surprise-filled booths, the energy was nothing short of joyful. Seeing fans travel from near and far, dressed in pink and full of cheer, reminded us just how special this creative community is.
About the Workshops
Our workshops were a hit from start to finish! From painting to crafting, each one offered attendees the chance to sit down, slow down, and make something with their own hands. Whether it was creating phone charms or custom planters, the creativity flowed non-stop thanks to our talented workshop hosts who poured so much care into each session. We’re so proud to have made space for hands-on fun and we’re already dreaming up the next round.
About Our Vendors
Poyo Fest wouldn’t have been the same without the incredible creators who filled the space with colour, charm, and creativity. From plushies to prints, keychains to jewellery, every booth was bursting with heart. Whether it was a first-time table or a familiar face, each vendor brought something uniquely joyful and seeing so many attendees connect with their work was the best part of all.
