Thousands are expected to flock to Blacktown CBD for a
jam packed program of entertainment for the Streets Alive
and Parade Day.
Featuring an event or activity for all-ages, the celebration
on Saturday, 26 May will conclude the week-long Blacktown
City Festival.
“Streets Alive and Parade Day will bring colour, movement
and vibrancy to our City,” Blacktown City Mayor Stephen Bali
MP said.
“It’s an annual event which features a range of free
entertainment and activities and leaves no visitor
disappointed.”
The main stage will feature the much loved characters, the
Smurfs.
Papa Smurf and Smurfette will leave the kids enthralled as
they go on a journey to find the special spark which makes a
Smurf feel Smurferiffic.
The street parade starts at 11am on the 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, toys, show-bags and handmade arts
and crafts.
There are five performance stages hosting incredible singing
and dancing acts from talented locals.
The Voice contestants, Lacey Madison who is a Blacktown
local, Aimee Hannan, and Seanny Miller will also be present
to meet festivalgoers at the Channel 9 marque on
Flushcombe Rd from 12.15pm - 2.30pm.
Activities throughout the day will include a freestyle
choreographed by Flair Riders crossing the boundaries
between BMX and freestyle Moto-X, and skate around the
ice -skating rink on the Village Green.
