TIME TO BE A HERO!
The Spring Festival went off with a bang on Saturday 1 September! Special guests PJ MASKS had all the kids on their feet ready to save the day! While NAY NAY hosted a big sing along.
Strathfield’s largest event attracted over 20,000 people from across the Inner West and wider Sydney for a fun filled day of carnival rides, headline entertainment, stalls, food, sports displays and more.
It was a beautiful sunny day and the perfect way to celebrate Father’s Day weekend!

2018 PERFORMERS
Presented by Strathfield Plaza, PJ Masks are on their way, into the night to save the day!
PJ Masks follows the adventures of Connor, Amaya and Greg as they transform into their superhero alter egos, Catboy, Owlette and Gekko! The TV series has been on air on Disney Junior since April 2016 and has become a leading favourite for pre-schoolers!
The masked crusaders will be live on stage at the Spring Festival and available for special meet and greet following the show.
Hey Hey, It’s Nay Nay!
ABC presenter Nay Nay is a tinkerer – an enthusiast of all things that tick, click and clonk. She’s gutsy, adventurous and loves to laugh. You wouldn’t want to miss her at the Strathfield Spring Festival as she performs her hit favourite songs Bubble Pop, My Brother Ate My Lego and I Have a Voice.
Sean Murphy is no stranger to crafting tasty comedy that educates and entertains as he has rocked stages from Sydney to Scotland. Some notable performances under his belt include being part of “Kid’s Party Confidential” which toured to the Melbourne Comedy Festival, Edinburgh Fringe, New Zealand and Singapore; ongoing presenter and performer at children’s events at the Sydney Opera House and is scheduled to undertake a 2 year world tour of “Ghost Jam” with leading musician Sophie Unsen.
Sean Murphy will delight children throughout the day at the Spring Festival, as well as hosting the Main Stage as MC.
Showcasing Australia’s top Freestyle Trial Riders, Flair’s Show is a dynamic performance displaying Trial motorcycles and bicycles being pushed to their limits. Performing every weekend and training throughout the week keeps Flair’s riders at their peak and has the crowd on the edge of their seats at each show, as they watch the riders pull off some of the biggest tricks ever attempted on trial motorcycles.
Stunts such as 180s, 360s, transfers, stalls and even backflips are performed just metres from the crowd, making it by far the top Freestyle Trial Show in Australia.
Flair Action Sports have performed at “Australia’s Got Talent”, Singapore Formula 1 Grand Prix, Melbourne Formula 1 Grand Prix, Monster Jam (USA) and the Sydney Royal Easter Show.
