Streets Alive and Parade Day.jpg

Celebrate as a community at the Streets Alive and Parade Day in the Blacktown CBD. It’s the city’s biggest community festival of the year.

Music, colour, food, dance, and entertainment will take over the streets for everyone to enjoy in addition to free amusement rides, arts and crafts, and market stalls. There will also be free activities like: henna tattoos, petting zoo, lawn games, superheroes, stilt-walkers, roving performers, and wrestling.

The street parade will travel through the CBD at 11 am, showcasing Blacktown’s multiculturalism, history, emergency services and local groups. Come along, show support, and engage with other members of our wonderful Blacktown City community.
