This December, Parramatta is set to spread holiday cheer with two cherished community events aimed at bringing people together during the festive season.
The Seniors Christmas Party and the Christmas Day Brunch will return to Riverside Theatres and Parramatta Town Hall, offering free celebrations for seniors, their companions, and those in need.
Riverside Theatres will deck the halls for seniors and their companions to celebrate the festive season with a free morning tea and screening of Christmas movie, The Man Who Invented Christmas on Thursday 19 December from 9.30am-12.15pm.
Make a Difference for Christmas Charity will take over Parramatta Town Hall for a special Christmas Day Brunch featuring a spectacular spread with all the festive trimmings for people in need. The free community event, proudly supported by Council and Walker Corporation, runs from 10.30am-1pm on Wednesday 25 December.
City of Parramatta Lord Mayor Cr Martin Zaiter said Christmas is a time to both celebrate and give back to the people in our community who are less fortunate.
“Christmas can be the most magical time of the year for many but for some of our more vulnerable community members, it can be a lonely time,” Cr Zaiter said.
“We don’t want anyone in our community to miss out on a decent meal or the chance to celebrate the festive season in good company.
“If you’re a senior or in need of company and a good meal this Christmas, I encourage you to join these events.”

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.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
When you support The Indian Sun, you support:
• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
We cannot cover everything, but we work to cover what matters.
If you value thoughtful reporting that reflects Australia’s diversity, we invite you to contribute. Every donation helps us maintain the quality and consistency of our work.
Please consider making a contribution today.
Thank you for your support.
