Eat Street Car Park is one of Parramatta Lanes’ biggest destinations, stacked with TikTok-famous food, immersive art and dancefloor-ready beats.
From glowing desserts at Blacklight Dessert Lab to crispy Korean street food, paella, dumplings and THICC cookies, it’s a feast for every craving. With Optus Disco Buggies, DJ sets and standout art from James Brown, Sammi, Serwah Attafuah and Audrey Newton, this multi-level playground delivers the energy from ground to rooftop.

Sammi’s photographic installation flips the gaze with her face infiltrating public and private spaces like a digital virus. Drawing on themes of surveillance and control, her work watches you, even when you’re not watching it.
Level 3
Serwah Attafuah’s cyber-surreal Afrofuturist dreamscape transforms a car park into a bold visual world exploring climate change, land rights and the strength of the Ashanti people. Proudly supported by Sharp Australia.
Level 3
Audrey Newton’s dreamlike installation conjures resin-preserved roses in a stark car park, exploring beauty, decay and meaning. Blending sculpture and magical realism, her work sits in the space between the familiar and the surreal.
