The Minns Labor Government is hopping into Easter with a bountiful basket of free family fun so everyone can make the most of their time off without breaking the bank.
With cost-of-living and fuel cost pressures front of mind for many households, there’s no need to spend a fortune when the best activities Sydney has to offer are free.
Across Sydney, free events include:
- A Disco on Saturday 4 April, from 3pm to 7pm, at Tumbalong park.
- Friday night Latin Dance classes, from 6pm to 10pm at Palm Grove, Darling Harbour
- Poppy making workshops to honour the Anzacs from 11am to 1pm, from Tuesday 7 April to Friday 10 April and Monday 13 April to Friday 17 April, at the always free, Rocks Discovery Museum.
- Sunday morning Yoga at 8:30am and 9:30am at Dawes Point Park under the Harbour bridge.
- Biennale of Sydney at the historic White Bay Power Station which is open for free from 10am to 5pm every Tuesday to Sunday, excluding public holidays until 14 June.
- Family day with Gul Collective people of all ages can join a creative fibre and textile workshop from 10am to 4pm on Saturday 4 April at White Bay Power Station.
- Penrith Beach community day from 10am to 5pm, on Saturday 4 April which will bring the beach to life with a DJ, food trucks and the lure of free ice-creams and hot drinks for the first 300 visitors.
The Chinese Garden of Friendship is also running a promotion so one child under the age of 12 gets free entry with any adult ticket purchased ($12 entry for adults, kids under 5 are always free).
Families can also use the break to explore these attractions which are always free:
- Swimming at Marrinawi Cove or Penrith Beach.
- Cycling, strolling, relaxing or picnicking at Sydney Olympic Park’s lookouts, boardwalks or cycle tracks.
- Discovering the fun of Disc Golf at Newington Armory.

The Minns Labor Government is focused on bringing more free and fun events to NSW with activities for the whole family.
Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Paul Scully said:
“Sydney is bursting with fun and free family activities this Easter long weekend.
“From craft workshops to discos, art exhibitions and great public open spaces there is something for everyone and their families and friends to enjoy for free.”
