OneCity Community Showcase and Coastal Art Trails Lead Today's Perth Highlights

Community Spirit at Wellington Square

Today, Sunday, 22 March 2026, the City of Perth invites residents and visitors to the inaugural OneCity Showcase at Wellington Square. Running from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm, this free, family-friendly event is designed to celebrate the diverse community groups and services that make the city vibrant. Attendees can expect a packed schedule of entertainment and interactive stalls.

• Free Activities: Enjoy rounds of mini-golf, face painting, and various arts and crafts stations for children.
• Live Entertainment: Local musicians will perform throughout the day, providing a soundtrack for the food trucks parked on-site.
• Meet the Heroes: Teams from the Department of Fire and Emergency Services (DFES) and St John WA will be present with live demonstrations and vehicle displays.
• Active Living: The event features free bike checks and interactive sports displays from the West Coast Eagles.

Final Chance for Festival Favorites

It is a major day for the local arts scene as two of the region's biggest festivals reach their conclusion. Today marks the penultimate day of Sculpture by the Sea at Cottesloe Beach. Over 70 large-scale artworks from international and local artists have transformed the white sands into an open-air gallery. Given it is the final Sunday of the exhibition, early arrival is recommended to enjoy a morning walk among the sculptures before the afternoon crowds arrive.

Further north, the Joondalup Festival officially closes today. After 16 days of immersive installations and waterborne spectacles, the final day offers a last look at various storytelling performances and art trails scattered across the northern suburbs. It is an excellent opportunity for families to explore local parks and waterways in an artistic light.

Stage and Screen Delights

For those seeking indoor entertainment, Perth’s theaters and cinemas are buzzing with activity this Sunday. Anastasia the Musical continues its successful run at the Crown Theatre in Burswood. This Broadway production offers a matinee performance today, retelling the romantic mystery of the Romanov family with spectacular costumes and sets.

The Alliance Française French Film Festival is also in full swing across multiple venues including Palace Cinemas Raine Square and Luna Leederville. Today’s schedule features a selection of contemporary French dramas and comedies, providing a perfect cultural escape. Additionally, as part of Perth Design Week, the WA Museum Boola Bardip is hosting special design exhibitions and a "Digital Detox Lounge" at the State Buildings, inviting visitors to reconnect with the city's architectural and creative heritage.
