Get ready to dance your way into 2024 at Parramatta Park, where Aussie DJ legends Bag Raiders, Cut Copy, and the beloved Wiggles DJ Dorothy the Dinosaur will headline the city’s largest-ever New Year’s Eve celebration.
Taking place on Tuesday, 31 December 2023, from 5–9:30 pm, the free event has doubled in size with two main stages, family-friendly activities, a smorgasbord of delicious food trucks, and a dazzling 9 pm fireworks finale.
City of Parramatta Lord Mayor Cr Martin Zaiter said this year’s celebration promises to be unforgettable.
“Parramatta loves putting on a show for the whole city. We’ve just lit up Parramatta Square for Christmas, and now we’re getting ready for New Year’s Eve in Parramatta Park, our next big celebration,” Cr Zaiter said.
“From kids to adults, everyone is welcome to join us for this spectacular night as we celebrate a year that’s brought Parramatta closer to becoming a global city.”
What’s On at Parramatta’s NYE Party?
- Live Performances: Bag Raiders, Cut Copy, and DJ Dorothy the Dinosaur will take the stage.
- Family-Friendly Fun: Activities for all ages, perfect for families.
- Foodie Heaven: Enjoy bites from 30+ food vendors and drinks from the Kombi Keg Bar.

Entry is free, but a wristband is required for access to the Crescent Stage. Wristbands will be available for collection at the Crescent Stage wristband tent from 1 pm on New Year’s Eve, on a first-come, first-served basis.
The event reflects Parramatta’s thriving 24-hour economy and commitment to hosting world-class celebrations.
“We know how to throw a party in Parramatta,” Cr Zaiter added. “From Parramatta Lanes drawing over 200,000 attendees to this landmark New Year’s Eve event, there’s no better way to ring in 2024.”

Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
