The fun then continues on Saturday, 25 October with family fun, live entertainment, jazz performances, and delicious food at the Grandparents Day Picnic.
Mayor of The Hills Shire, Dr Michelle Byrne recognised the importance of celebrating the treasured contributions grandparents and seniors make to families and the community.
"These two fantastic events are a heartfelt way to say 'thank you' to our local grandparents for the invaluable role they play in our community, generously sharing their wisdom, knowledge, and experiences with younger generations," Mayor Byrne said.
