Recap
How it went
Prince Alfred Square disappeared under pink, yellow and green by lunchtime and stayed that way until closing.
Thank you to our stallholders, to the volunteers in the yellow shirts, and to everyone who came and stayed to the last song.
Seven hours of colour in the middle of Parramatta: colour throws on the hour, dhol players working the crowd, live music from the main stage and food and market stalls around the square.
Built for families — a dedicated kids’ colour zone, seated shade areas for grandparents, and organic colours only.
