Over the decades, the South Asian diaspora has enriched communities across the globe including one of Australia’s most culturally diverse cities, Parramatta, in the heart of greater Sydney. Embracing a vibrant ‘masala’ or mix of creative ideas, there is no better location to host a festival which celebrates the influence that South Asian traditional and contemporary arts is now having on modern artists from every corner of the planet.

Parramasala will bring together a mind-expanding confluence of cultural backgrounds, artistic ideas, and innovative collaborations from today’s most celebrated, contemporary artists working across music, dance, theatre, film and visual arts. Colourful, uplifting and inclusive, this is a festival for arts lovers of all ages and interests to spice up their lives with a rich program of free and festival-exclusive ticketed events.

As the scope and scale of Parramasala builds each year, the inaugural festival in November 2010 will be seen as the exciting beginning of one of the world’s most unique international arts events.
