We are so excited to announce our 8th Oz Para Expo, being held at
​Old Parramatta Gaol on
7 October 2023 


Since 2013, our journey has been one of continuous growth and transformation! It all began at Parramatta Town Hall, but in 2014, we took a bold step forward by relocating to the Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre, accompanied by a rebrand that elevated our identity to new heights.

In the year 2019, we achieved a significant milestone by hosting our inaugural Expo at the historic Parramatta Gaol. Our path, however, was not without its challenges, as the dreaded Covid-19 pandemic forced us to cancel our plans in both 2020 and 2021.

Nevertheless, last year marked a triumphant return as we welcomed numerous enthusiastic participants to the gaol's atmospheric surroundings. Attendees had the opportunity to savor the unique offerings of the gaol while engaging in a day filled with delightful and entertaining activities.

And this year promises to be our BIGGEST EVENT YET!

ABOUT OLD PARRAMATTA GAOL

Upon its closure in 2011, Old Parramatta Gaol earned the distinction of being the longest-serving prison in Australia's history. This sprawling complex boasts six wings, along with various ancillary structures, making it an imposing site. Its transformation into the venue for the Oz Para Expo in both 2019 and 2022 proved to be an overwhelming triumph.

Constructed in 1837, this gaol is steeped in rich historical significance and an unmistakable aura – and it is no secret that it harbors stories of lingering spirits and ghosts.

We are looking for stall holders selling a diverse range of products. If you are a market stall, don't hesitate to reach out to us via the contact page.
