Celebrate Australia Day in The Hills with fun, food and fireworks!

One of Sydney’s biggest Australia Day celebrations is back at Bella Vista Farm Park with Ricki-Lee headlining a day of free family fun, food and fireworks.

The festivities won’t be limited to Bella Vista with a massive pool party and free barbecue kicking off the day at Waves Fitness and Aquatic Centre from 10am to 3pm. Families can enjoy a FREE sausage sizzle (limited availability), inflatable obstacle course in the 50m pool, party tunes from a DJ and roving entertainment.

The celebrations at Bella Vista Farm run from 4:30pm to 9pm, where Australian singer Ricki-Lee will take the stage as the headline act, performing some of her biggest hits. Audiences can also enjoy an exclusive Bluey Live Interactive Experience and the interactive renditions of Junkyard Beats.

Mayor of The Hills Shire, Dr Michelle Byrne said that Australia Day is a wonderful opportunity for families and friends to come together and celebrate our diversity, spirit, and unity.

“We’re thrilled to offer a fun-filled day that has something for everyone – from the pool party at Waves to the fantastic lineup of entertainment and fireworks at Bella Vista Farm,” Mayor Byrne said.

“Australia Day is an opportunity to celebrate our vibrant nation and the remarkable community spirit that fills us all with great pride to be Australians.

“I encourage you all to come together to honour our shared values and achievements and this amazing country.”

Bella Vista Farm will also feature a wide array of delicious food trucks, FREE activities for all ages, face painting, and roving entertainers.
