Celebrate WA Day in Fremantle!
Join us at Fremantle Fishing Boat Harbour on Monday June 1 from 11am–6pm for a vibrant celebration by the water, honouring the stories, people and cultures that shape Western Australia.
Set against the stunning harbour and Bathers Beach, the precinct will come alive with a dynamic program of live entertainment from artists representing Oceania, Asia, Europe and South America. A powerful highlight of the day is the First Nations Corroboree, led by respected Elder James Webb and Wadumbah Dance Theatre, celebrating the rich cultural heritage and enduring traditions of Australia’s First Nations peoples.
Across the harbour, enjoy colourful cultural showcases, roaming performers and high-energy acts, including the spectacular 50-metre Dragon Dance, Venetian-style street theatre and lively performances from groups such as Apotezzy Samba.
Experience the energy of Festival Carnivale at Bathers Beach, featuring Latin rhythms, choreographed dance, live bands and vibrant costuming, alongside crowd favourites including Candela and the electrifying Eighties Arena live show bringing iconic hits to life.
Families can explore the Kids Festival Kingdom, a dedicated children’s precinct filled with interactive fun. Discover creative workshops, storytelling and hands-on activities, meet superheroes, unicorns and fairytale characters, and don’t miss the magical Mermaid Aquarium & Marine Wonder Experience.
Be sure to visit Nonna’s Piazza – Cooking with the Nonnas, where traditional recipes, storytelling and hands-on pasta-making workshops bring generations together in a celebration of culture, food and family.
As the day unfolds, the celebration builds to a breathtaking sunset fire performance on Bathers Beach, where flame, rhythm and movement create a spectacular coastal finale.
With delicious food from Fremantle’s iconic waterfront venues and local vendors, festive lighting and a welcoming seaside atmosphere, it’s the perfect way to celebrate WA Day in the heart of Fremantle.
Proudly supported by BHP, the State Government and Lotterywest.
