Two public Remembrance Day services will be held in the City of Parramatta on Wednesday 11 November 2026: one at the Epping Cenotaph in Boronia Park at 10:45am, and one at Prince Alfred Square in Parramatta at 10:50am. Both are free. The council says Australians observe one minute’s silence at 11am.
This brief uses the City of Parramatta’s Remembrance Day page and its @Parramatta listings for the Parramatta service and the Epping service, all read on Saturday 31 October 2026.
What time are the Remembrance Day services in Parramatta and Epping?
| Service | Time | Venue |
|---|---|---|
| Epping RSL sub-Branch | 10:45am to 11:10am | Epping Cenotaph, Boronia Park, Boronia Avenue, Epping |
| City of Parramatta RSL sub-Branch | 10:50am to 11:30am | Prince Alfred Square, 353d Church Street, Parramatta |
The two services overlap, so you cannot attend both from the start. The council’s page says Remembrance Day marks the anniversary of the Armistice that ended the First World War, and that Australians observe one minute’s silence at 11am “in memory of those who died or suffered in all wars and armed conflicts”. The Epping service is listed as ending at 11:10am, a short time after 11am. The Parramatta service runs until 11:30am.
Where is the Parramatta service held?
The City of Parramatta RSL sub-Branch service is at Prince Alfred Square, listed at 353d Church Street, Parramatta. The council’s listing is marked as a free event and says service animals are welcome. It does not say whether the service is wheelchair accessible, so contact the sub-Branch if you need that detail. The sub-Branch’s email address is parramattasb@rslnsw.org.au.
How do I get to Prince Alfred Square?
The square has a light rail stop with the same name, as the photo below shows. The council has not published transport advice for the service, so use the Transport for NSW trip planner for Wednesday 11 November and check for any changes on the day. There is no published information on parking or road closures around Church Street for the service.
Where is the Epping service held?
The Epping RSL sub-Branch service is at the Epping Cenotaph in Boronia Park, with the address given as Boronia Avenue, Epping. The council’s listing is free, says service animals are welcome and describes the event as wheelchair and low mobility accessible. The sub-Branch’s phone number is (02) 9868 3272 and its email is subbranch@eppingsubbranch.com. Boronia Park also hosts the Epping Night Market; our guide to that market has photos of the park and the walk from Epping Station.
What has the council not said?
- It has not said where to park for either service, or whether any streets will close.
- It has not published a program, a list of speakers or a seating plan.
- It has not said whether members of the public can lay wreaths. Ask the sub-Branch if you plan to.

Where can I find more information?
The council’s Remembrance Day page links to the Parramatta History and Heritage site for online commemoration, and to the Department of Veterans’ Affairs ANZAC Portal. It also says serving, ex-service and reservist members of the Australian Defence Force or allied forces, and their family members, are eligible to join the Epping or City of Parramatta RSL sub-Branches. Photos on this page show the venues in other years and are not from the services.
