Culture and Sport Unite for an Exciting September Weekend

Thursday, 12 September 2024

Penrith City will come alive this September with a vibrant mix of signature cultural events and world-class sporting competitions.

From 20 to 22 September, over 40,000 residents and visitors are expected to flock to Penrith for a weekend that highlights our natural landscapes and premier venues.

These events include Council’s signature annual event, Real Festival at Tench Reserve, the Sunset Bash concert at Panthers Penrith, the Red Belly Warriors Knockout competition in Werrington, and the IRONMAN 70.3 Western Sydney competition at the Sydney International Regatta Centre.

Penrith General Manager, Andrew Moore, is proud that Council has played a vital role in securing these diverse events which will benefit the city and provide local entertainment.

“These major events will provide an estimated 6 million dollar boost to our local economy by filling hotel rooms and supporting local restaurants and businesses,” Mr Moore said.

“Not only will these events enhance Penrith’s profile as a vibrant and inclusive destination, but they also offer our residents the chance to experience all that their city has to offer right on their doorstep.”

With thousands of visitors and residents participating in these exciting events, Penrith is expected to be bustling.

“If you’re attending any of these events, please plan your journey and consider public transport options,” Mr Moore advised.
