St Marys prepares to light up the night

Queen Street in St Marys is ready to light up like never before as the 'St Marys Lights Up' festival returns bigger and better than ever in 2023 - taking place every Saturday in May from 3pm to 9pm.

As well as the atmospheric lighting displays, Penrith Council is opening the streets and taking over Coachmans Park and the Kokoda Carpark to host a new pop-up green space, open-air bar and outdoor stage, which will play host to live bands and DJs throughout the nights.

With a soft play area for toddlers and amusement rides and a gaming station for the more mature youngsters, there'll be something to keep everyone entertained. There'll also be food trucks, roving performers and creative workshops to enjoy.Entry to the event and all rides are totally free.
