The annual event will celebrate Cumberland City’s diverse community and feature live entertainment from local musicians and DJs, a variety of food trucks, an outdoor cinema screening of the action-packed animated comedy Back To The Outback, an assortment of garden games and a spectacular fireworks display.
Cumberland Mayor Lisa Lake says Australia Day is a special time and encourages everyone to get along to Holroyd Gardens and join the fun.
“Australia Day gives us all an opportunity to come together and acknowledge our cultures, celebrate our country and welcome new citizens into our community,” she said.
“There will be something for all ages to enjoy. For those looking for some outdoor fun, there will be garden games with a giant chess set, a giant Connect 4, ring toss, croquet and games of cricket.”
A variety of food trucks and pop-up stalls will have a selection of food and beverages available for residents to purchase and enjoy as they catch a movie at the outdoor cinema which will be fitted out with bean bags.
To finish the event, a fireworks display will light up the night’s sky to conclude the day’s celebrations.
Celebrations on the day will also include Citizen of the Year and Community Pride Awards, held in conjunction with a special Australia Day Citizenship Ceremony at the Holroyd Centre, where 150 residents will join the Cumberland community as our newest Australian citizens.
