Briefing sessions for Cultural Festivals 2024

Cultural Festivals at Cathy Freeman Park

Sydney Olympic Park Authority (SOPA) is seeking Expressions of Interest (EOI) from new and previous Cultural Festival organisers for inclusion in the Cultural Festivals Program being presented in Cathy Freeman Park, Sydney Olympic Park.

The program enables festival organisers to focus on the cultural presentation whilst ensuring a safe and well-presented festival at Sydney Olympic Park.

This EOI process enables a fairer and more transparent application process, eliminates uncertainty around bookings and delivers a more curated and inspired Cultural Festivals Program.

We are committed to supporting the presentation of up to seven (7) Cultural Festivals every year, across two seasons. The Cultural Festivals seasons per year are as follows:

Season 1: February to May [up to three festivals] 
Season 2: September – November [up to four festivals]

Register for a briefing session

Sydney Olympic Park Authority will be holding two online briefing sessions in conjunction with Placemaking NSW about the upcoming 2024 Cultural Festivals programs. 

These virtual sessions will help you understand more about the EOI application process and give interested festival organisers the opportunity to ask questions on the day. You'll only need to attend one of the two available sessions.

Session 1: Thursday 18 January, 5pm - 6pm

Session 2: Friday 19 January, 11am - 12pm
