From major cultural celebrations in Perth to long-running traditions across the state’s coastal, outback and agricultural communities, WA’s event calendar highlights creativity, food, music and the outdoors. The state’s size and diversity mean each region brings its own character to local gatherings throughout the year.

Perth features major events such as Perth Festival, Fringe World and Sculpture by the Sea, each drawing large crowds for arts, entertainment and coastal experiences.
