Oz Comic-Con, Broadway Magic, and Night Markets: Your Perth Saturday Guide

A Super-Powered Saturday in the City

Perth is buzzing this Saturday, March 28, 2026, with a massive lineup of pop culture, world-class theater, and community gatherings. Whether you are looking to don a cape for Oz Comic-Con or enjoy the final notes of a grand opera, there is no shortage of ways to spend your weekend in the sun-drenched capital.

Pop Culture and Holistic Wellness

For fans of cosplay, gaming, and comic books, the Oz Comic-Con Perth officially kicks off today at the Perth Convention & Exhibition Centre. Running from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm, the event features local and international guests, artist alleys, and high-stakes cosplay competitions. It is a vibrant hub for the community to celebrate all things geek culture.

If you are looking for a more grounded experience, the Perth Festival of Healing is taking over the Cannington Exhibition Centre & Showgrounds today from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. This festival offers a day of relaxation and self-discovery, featuring holistic workshops, wellness speakers, and stalls dedicated to rejuvenation and mental clarity.

Grand Finales on the Stage

It is a significant day for the arts as two major productions reach their final performances in Perth. At His Majesty's Theatre, the West Australian Opera concludes its stunning season of La traviata. This tale of hope and heartbreak has captivated audiences for two weeks, and tonight offers the final opportunity to witness the spectacle. Similarly, at Crown Theatre Perth, the Broadway hit Anastasia takes its final bow today with both matinee and evening performances, bringing its mystery and romance to a close after a successful run.

Market Magic and Cultural Heritage

Your Saturday routine would not be complete without a visit to the local markets. The Subiaco Farmers Market is open at Subiaco Primary School until noon, perfect for fresh produce and breakfast. As the sun begins to set, the Subi Night Market transforms Market Square Park into a European-style village from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm. Expect over 40 food vendors, artisan stalls, and live jazz or cabaret performances under the stars.

For a dose of culture, head to the WA Museum Boola Bardip at 3:00 pm for Nyumbi. This free weekly event celebrates Nyoongar culture through traditional song and dance, providing a powerful connection to the history of the Whadjuk people.

Cinematic Highlights

Film lovers can catch the Alliance Française French Film Festival at Palace Cinemas Raine Square and Luna Leederville. Today’s schedule includes a mix of contemporary French comedies and psychological thrillers. Additionally, Lotterywest Films continues its season at the Somerville Pines, offering an outdoor cinema experience beneath the iconic trees.
