Barangaroo Welcome Celebration

The Barangaroo Delivery Authority, on behalf of the NSW Government, will wrap-up the popular Barangaroo Welcome Celebration this November with a packed month-long program of free family events at Sydney's new Harbour foreshore park, Barangaroo Reserve. 

The exciting schedule of events begins with the November Giant Picnic on Sunday, 1 November (11am-5pm) and continues as part of Barangaroo's open weekends which run until Sunday, 22 November.

The November program welcomes the next generation to the site and explores the theme of -sky', symbolising Sydney's aspirations for the future.
