Answered by: Katie James - Event Manager

Address of venue: Parramatta Park

What do your Australia Day celebrations involve? Hot air balloons, vintage cars, great food with a focus on low 'n' slow barbecue, kids entertainment, great live music, fireworks in a beautiful green setting.

Will you be doing anything special or out of the ordinary? We have original race cars from the 1950s (that raced at Parramatta Park!) We have an awesome Hottest 100 party and massive stage concert with a beautiful Indigenous welcoming ceremony.

Will there be a particularly Australian soundtrack to your day? Our line-up is huge this year, Eskimo Joe, Thundamentals, Thandi Phoenix and BEATZ on the main stage and western Sydney and unearthed artists L-FRESH The LION, Olympia, Kuren, FROYO, Hurst and heaps more.

What's the best thing about being Australian? Sharing this beautiful country together and appreciating the land we are on.

What else do we need to know about your Australia Day celebration? It's free, and all ages. It's on from 6am to 9pm so that's a full 15 hours of entertainment.
