Festival Director Paul Osborne, announced that Parramasala 2019 will be bigger than ever, being “the biggest celebration of Sydney’s vibrant cross-section of cultures yet. From South American to Middle Eastern, Indigenous Australian to South East Asian, and everything in between.”

Parramasala is held in the streets, laneways, parks and theatres across Parramatta. Each year the festival transforms the city of Parramatta, starting with the procession of 500 multicultural performers in the opening street parade.
