Super 6 Blacktown City Youth Games

Super 6 Blacktown City Youth Games celebrate youth excellence and are a catalyst for positive change within the community.

Taking place over a weekend at the Blacktown International Sports Park, the games empower the youth within our communities through athletic prowess, holistic wellness, and positive behavioural change.

Blacktown City Medieval Fayre

Head back to the Middle Ages at the spectacular Blacktown City Medieval Fayre.

Watch knights clad in shining armour compete in epic battles of strength, skill, and bravery in stand-up battles and incredible jousting competitions. Riders from all over the country fight for the prestigious title.

Be immersed in the medieval culture through the feathered friends show, medieval displays, combat artillery, handmade arts and crafts, a working Blacksmith and Woodturners village, and medieval-themed food. Even better, when you come dressed in medieval garb and compete in the Best Dressed competition.

Experience the excitement and pageantry of a bygone era in a truly authentic way. This event should not be missed.
