MASSIVE WEEK OF EVENTS AT SYDNEY OLYMPIC PARK

Sydney Olympic Park continues to attract huge crowds to attend a vast variety of events, with over a quarter-of-a-million people expected to attend the Park over an extended week of events.

NSW Minister for Sport and Recreation Stuart Ayres said Sydney Olympic Park is hosting a diverse array of sporting, business, artistic, entertainment and cultural events, and with its 10 venues and 100 function spaces, is playing an instrumental role to ensure events previously held at Darling Harbour remain in NSW.

“Each year the Park hosts almost 6,000 events, large and small, each contributing to the prosperity of the State’s economy and providing the people of NSW access to the very best in entertainment,” Mr Ayres said.

Commencing with last Saturday’s Supernova Pop Culture Expo and finishing with Sunday’s Giants/Carlton AFL game, more than 250,000 people will attend a vast array of events across the length of Sydney Olympic Park. Some of the highlights include:

• Supernova Pop Culture Expo at Sydney Showground – 30,000 visitors
• All Stars Cheerleading Federation WinterFest at the Sports Centre – 2,000
• Canterbury Bulldogs vs Parramatta Eels at ANZ Stadium – 24,000
• Dance Fever at the Sports Centre – 1,400
• State of Origin II at ANZ Stadium – 83,000
• Sydney Home Show at Sydney Showground – 30,000
• Mind Body Spirit Festival at Sydney Showground – 5,000
• Western Sydney Careers Expo at Sydney Showground – 20,000
• Keith Urban at Allphones Arena for two concerts – 28,000
• Greater Western Sydney Giants vs Carlton at Spotless Stadium – 10,000. 

“Sydney Olympic Park’s busy schedule highlights the versatility of Sydney as Australia’s major event’s capital,” Mr Ayres concluded.
