Westfield Penrith in conjunction with CBD businesses will host ‘ICONIC’, a four-day festival in the Penrith CBD from next Thursday.
ICONIC Penrith has a variety of events over the four-day festival which runs from September 22 until September 25.
“This is about bringing Penrith CBD’s best spaces to life, supporting local businesses and getting jobs back for our creative industries,” said Penrith MP Stuart Ayres, who announced the schedule for the festival on Wednesday.
“Penrith has plenty of amazing businesses and with the support of the NSW Government CBD Revitalisation Program we will be getting more people back through their doors and putting a smile on people’s faces with some wonderful experiences.”
‘ICONIC’ is a celebration of everything that makes Penrith special, spread through the Penrith CBD, catering for all ages through targeted programming. Watch live art, join in the fun, cheer on your hometown team, grab a drink or bite to eat, and enjoy an overnight stay – all in the Penrith CBD.
