The Park is home to the free Lambeth Country Show, which usually takes place over two days in July, attracting crowds of up to 150,000 people.
A ticketed annual fireworks display, attracting 30,000 people, also takes place around November 5.

Paid-for music events have been taking place in Brockwell Park for a number of years, including Found Festival in 2016 and Sunfall Festival in 2017.
As far back as 1913, it was said that, "On the whole probably the people in Brockwell Park, like those in Hyde Park and the other parks, would refuse the weaker Italian stuff and demand the Wagner over and over again".

Whilst there is recent local opposition to the holding of large festivals, in fact the Park has a long history of hosting large-scale music events, including an estimated crowd of 150,000 in attendance at a Rock Against Racism carnival in September 1978, headlined by Elvis Costello and The Attractions, and with "people in trees, on the roofs of the flats and on the lido wall".
Costello ended his Brockwell Park performance with the song '(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love, and Understanding'.
A further Rock Against Racism event including performances by Aswad and Stiff Little Fingers was also held in the Park in September 1979.

In May 1981, Aswad and Pete Townshend "swigging Remy Martin brandy" headlined a TUC benefit gig for the 'People's March For Jobs' campaign, with a crowd of 70,000 in attendance.
In May 1982, Brockwell Park hosted a Cannabis Law Reform Rally, including "a wicked turbo sound rig with Jah Shaka, Coxone, King Sounds and DBC Rebel Radio´s boxes all connected in a huge horseshoe".
Madness also headlined a Greater London Council / CND 'Festival for Peace' in Brockwell Park in 1983, compered by John Peel, with a crowd of 30,000 in attendance.
Paul Weller's new band The Style Council made only their second public appearance at this festival.
Unfortunate scheduling of the support acts, meant that many arriving in Brockwell Park hoping to see The Damned had already missed their 35-minute set, and subsequent support acts, including The Style Council and Hazel O'Connor, were pelted with mud, amid chants of "We want The Damned".

In August 1984, the Park hosted a GLC free festival, where Leader Ken Livingstone gave a speech, and the increasingly rowdy crowd during performances by The Fall and Spear of Destiny was calmed by poet Benjamin Zephaniah before the headline set by The Damned.
One eyewitness recalls The Fall being pelted with cans during their performance, with singer Mark E. Smith narrowly dodging one effort, "about an inch from his face, when he suddenly twitched to the right and let it sail past him".

The Park has also hosted reggae festivals, and the London Pride festival in 1993 and 1994.
In May 1994, an Anti Nazi League Carnival in Brockwell Park featured performances by The Manic Street Preachers, The Levellers, and Billy Bragg.
Between 2000-2004, the Park even hosted an annual cannabis festival.
The cannabis festival was eventually stopped in 2005 by Lambeth Council, after drug dealing at previous events.

In June 2002, Australian band Midnight Oil headlined The Fierce Festival in Brockwell Park in front of a crowd of 20,000 people.
A dance event called Purple in the Park was held on the preceding day, headlined by Grace Jones, and including performances by Boy George and Yoko Ono.
The two events, held over the Queen's Golden Jubilee weekend, had a capacity set at 50,000.

In January 2018, Lambeth Council announced that Field Day Festival had been given permission to hold its event in Brockwell Park.
Acts lined up for June 2018 included Erykah Badu, Thundercat, and Four Tet.
