Experience Orange brings new and local residents together in Cook Park

Orange Council

Orange City Council invites new residents and long-time locals alike to celebrate community and discover what Orange has to offer at Experience Orange in Cook Park on Sunday 3 May.

Experience Orange provides an opportunity for residents to connect and see what makes Orange such a great place to live.

Orange Mayor Tony Mileto said the event was designed to welcome people who have recently moved to Orange, as well as giving locals a chance to rediscover our city.

“I invite everyone to come along and learn what’s available for local families in our city, in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere,” Cr Mileto said.

“There’s no better location for it than Cook Park, one of Orange’s most recognisable and historic public spaces, which has been a welcoming meeting place to gather for more than 150 years.”

Experience Orange will showcase a mix of local businesses, sporting and hobby clubs, community groups and services, giving new residents a chance to learn what’s on offer, while locals share their knowledge, passion and community pride.

The afternoon will feature hands‑on experiences, interactive demonstrations, live performances and a wide range of family‑friendly activities, encouraging conversation and participation. Visitors can also enjoy delicious local food and regional wine, celebrating the flavours and produce that help define Orange as a standout regional destination.

Experience Orange will be held from 12pm to 4pm, is free to attend and is open to everyone.
