Known as the biggest cultural festival in Sydney,
Parramatta Lanes is a feast for the senses. Over four nights, the Parramatta CBD will transform into a kaleidoscope of music, art and culinary delights, and everyone is invited!
The annual festival brings together people to celebrate the diverse cultures that make up our beautiful city. It is free to attend and kicks off from 5.00pm each evening. Get ready for a mega dose of beats, eats and art!
Experience the vibrant spirit of Parramatta Lanes
Music is the beating heart of the festival, with over 120 acts planned. Parramatta Lanes provides a platform for up-and-coming artists to show off their talents and bring their music to a broad and excited audience. Expect to be allured by the sounds and rhythms of Afrobeats, Bollywood, hip hop, K-pop and more.
It wouldn't be a festival without food and this one will definitely keep you salivating. Dig into your festival favourites or give your tastebuds something new from the wide variety of cuisines that will be available from the 40+ food stalls. This will be a foodie's paradise!
The event also promises to captivate with three incredible outdoor art installations. Discover the next Banksy or Wei Wei as you immerse into the imaginations of our local artists, commissioned by the City of Parramatta.
