End the School Holidays with a Laugh: Fun Awaits

Looking for the perfect way to wrap up the school holidays? Gather the family and head into the city for a day filled with laughter, entertainment and unforgettable moments at Great Laugh in the Park, returning to Tumbalong Park this April.

Set in the heart of Darling Harbour, this vibrant outdoor event has become a favourite for families, offering a relaxed and fun-filled atmosphere where kids can play, explore and, most importantly, laugh. With its own dedicated Sunday this year, it’s the ideal way to finish the holidays on a high.

Hosted by beloved comedian and family favourite Jimmy Rees, the day promises a lively mix of comedy, performances and interactive experiences designed especially for kids. Known for his hilarious and relatable humour, Jimmy will keep the energy high and the crowd entertained throughout the day.

One of the biggest highlights for little ones is the Bluey Live Interactive Experience, featuring a special appearance from Bluey and Bingo. This much-loved duo is sure to bring big smiles, with plenty of opportunities for kids to sing, dance and join in the fun.

Beyond the main stage, there’s something happening around every corner. Families can wander through a variety of interactive zones, enjoy live performances, and discover surprise moments that keep kids engaged all day long. From circus acts to improv sessions, the event is designed to spark creativity, imagination and plenty of giggles.

A standout feature of Great Laugh in the Park is how interactive it is. Kids aren’t just watching the entertainment — they’re part of it. Whether they’re learning the basics of comedy in a workshop, joining in an improv session or simply laughing along with performers, the experience is designed to be hands-on and inclusive.

The Circus Tent and roaming performers add an extra layer of excitement, with unexpected moments popping up throughout the park. Meanwhile, The Giggle Garden offers a dedicated space for younger children to enjoy playful, age-appropriate fun in a relaxed setting.

Of course, no family day out is complete without great food. A variety of food trucks and sweet treats will be available, making it easy to spend the whole day soaking up the atmosphere without needing to leave the park.

Parents will also appreciate the open, spacious setting of Tumbalong Park, where kids can safely roam, play and burn off that last bit of school holiday energy while adults can relax and enjoy the entertainment.
