It is party time at Darling Harbour on Australia Day and everybody is invited to a fun and entertaining day. There will be rhythm, there will be song, there will be soul but it’s not just about the music – there will be dance as well. 🙂 This is Darling Harbour so there will be loads for the kids to do and to be entertained by.
The fun starts at 4pm at Parramatta Park with rides, roving entertainers and food stalls providing the energy for what’s to come. As the crowds and excitement builds the main acts will hit the stage.
