What To Do in July

Winter has well and truly arrived. Enjoy these cool days by rugging up, and embracing winter traditions like ice skating, warm drinks and comfort food. Our list this month invites you to take advantage of the season and enjoy our city's great culture.

July 5th - 21st - Parramatta Winterlight
