Blacktown set for Wiggly good fun

The Wiggles will wow audiences as part of their special free show to wrap up the 2017 Blacktown City Festival.

Anthony, Emma, Lachy and Simon will be live on the main stage on Saturday 27 May, from 1pm, performing all their famous Wiggly hits.

The free show is part of a packed program of entertainment for the Streets Alive and Parade Day, concluding the week-long Blacktown City Festival.

“I fully expect Wigglemania to seize Blacktown City as the Fab Four take to the main stage as our headline act this year,” said Mayor of Blacktown City Stephen Bali.

“The Wiggles are able to pack out arenas across the world and tickets for their shows regularly sell out.

“Yet they will be here, in the heart of Blacktown City, performing for free at our fantastic Streets Alive and Parade Day.” 

The Parade Day starts at 11am on Main Street (near Warrick Lane), with over 60 floats and participants joining in the fun.

“The vibrant parade will travel through the streets of our CBD and is a spectacular display of colour and excitement with roving characters, floats and marching bands,” said Mayor Bali.

“There will also be performances from different cultures, a huge number of arts and crafts stalls, and food trucks.”

Residents and visitors are encouraged to get into the CBD early and wander through the streets, which feature over 200 stalls filled with food, show-bags, handmade arts and crafts, toys and much more.

There will also be free amusement rides for the kids to enjoy.

There are five performance stages hosting incredible singing and dancing acts from talented locals.

This year there will be an opportunity to meet your favourite princesses and superheroes including Belle, Rapunzel, Cinderella, Snow White, Batman, Superman and Spiderman.

Come and grab a bite to eat in the food truck and dessert section on the Village Green and skate around the ice skating rink.
