Farewell 2018 at Parramatta’s ultimate end-of-year celebration in the stunning grounds of the World Heritage-Listed Parramatta Park. Watch the skyline sparkle with colour and light, and enjoy a host of family-friendly activities and entertainment across 4 activation areas.
Coronation Hill
Got little ones on board? Enjoy family-friendly entertainment featuring performances by and ‘meet and greets’ with characters from Hotel Transylvania and Splashdance. Also, don’t miss an interactive high energy, nonstop singing and dancing show featuring songs from Disney movies with Bethany Fisher’s ‘Kidding Around’.
The Crescent
Spread out your picnic rug and spend a night under the stars singing along to classic tunes from the golden era of swing music. Hum along to the rhythms of The Organised Band and enjoy an exquisite fusion of jazz, pop, rock and blues as the Sydney Jazz Orchestra play music by some of the world’s greatest artists (think Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles). Plus, sing along to iconic female anthems by the original sisters of swing and soul, legends of motown and divas of disco and pop as The Diamonds trio bring you to your feet. Hosted by MC Monica Trapaga (Play School).
The Fairground
Perfect for young families with a great selection of amusement rides, snacks, face painting and roving entertainment. Take a selfie with amazing roving performers including Stilt Walkers and Circus Solarus.
Carnival on the Green
Indulge in something sweet, take a spin on the amusement rides, learn how to hula hoop, have your face painted and meet some colourful roving characters along the way. Pick a spot to relax and unwind with one of the best views in the Park for the fireworks spectacular.
Food
Indulge in a range of fantastic dinner options and tasty snacks – think slow-cooked meats, Korean BBQ, dumplings, eclairs, sweet treats and more.
Fireworks
Look to the skies at 9:00pm and experience a rush of light and colour during a grand fireworks finale with three amazing displays. Spread your picnic rug and join us as we farewell 2018!
