A Spectacular Easter Monday in Perth

Perth is buzzing this Monday, 6 April 2026, as the city celebrates the Easter long weekend with a vibrant mix of international culture, prehistoric wonders, and fine arts. With the autumn weather providing a perfect backdrop, today offers a final chance to catch some of the season's biggest festivals before the public holiday concludes.

Fremantle International Street Arts Festival

The headline event for today is the final day of the Fremantle International Street Arts Festival (FISAF). Since its inception, this festival has transformed the historic port city into a massive open-air stage. Today, you can wander through the streets of Fremantle to witness world-class street theatre, circus acts, and comedy. Major performance 'pitches' are located at Fremantle Prison, Walyalup Koort, and the Esplanade Park. Highlights for the closing day include gravity-defying acrobatics from global stars and local busking talent featuring fire-eaters and magicians. The event is free and family-friendly, making it the perfect destination for a Monday stroll.

Jurassic Kingdom: Deep Sea Titans

For those looking for a family adventure, Kagoshima Park is currently hosting "Jurassic Kingdom: Deep Sea Titans." This immersive exhibition brings prehistoric marine giants to life with animatronic displays and educational zones. Visitors can explore the mysteries of the ancient ocean and see life-sized replicas of creatures that ruled the seas millions of years ago. It is a ticketed event that offers a unique blend of entertainment and science, ideal for children and dinosaur enthusiasts alike.

Final Chance: Pippin Drysdale at the Art Gallery of WA

Today marks the final day of the "Pippin Drysdale: Infinite Terrain" exhibition at the Art Gallery of Western Australia. This free public exhibition showcases the work of one of Australia’s most renowned ceramic artists.
