Northparkes celebrated 30 years on Saturday and what a party it was.
Thousands packed into Cooke Park for an evening of live music, headlined by Daryl Braithwaite who closed the night out with 'Horses' before fireworks lit up the sky.
Northparkes Mines officially opened on August 17, 1994 with mining commencing the year prior.
To celebrate the milestone Northparkes hosted a concert to celebrate with the community, with food vendors, kids entertainment and a fantastic line-up of live music.
For the little party-goers there were jumping castles and ball pits, a visit from Bluey, face painting and of course lots of food options.
