Parramatta will be the new home of Tropfest, the world’s largest short film festival, cementing Western Sydney’s growing reputation as a thriving arts and cultural destination.
NSW Minister for Environment and Heritage Mark Speakman said the move to Parramatta will allow the 25-year-old festival to expand and attract a new and broader audience.
“Parramatta Park is an impressive world-class heritage venue that will create an exciting new home for the festival, and the decision to hold Tropfest for the first time on a Saturday night will also allow more Sydneysiders to enjoy the show,” Mr Speakman said.
“Greater Western Sydney, now home to more than two million people, has seen extraordinary growth in recent years and is still growing – Parramatta is a great place for a major event like Tropfest.”
The popular event, which celebrates its 25th anniversary next year, will be hosted at Parramatta Park on 11 February 2017.
Entries for Tropfest open in September.
