Great local celebration |
Grand Boulevard Joondalup Perth, WA 6127 Australia +61 (0)8 9400 4992 http://festival.joondalup.wa.g... |
This local festival presents two days of street entertainment and a night parade. It is relatively new to the festival scene yet exudes a well-worn and vibrant character. Buskers, street theatre, BMX and skating displays, and a dance program entertain the crowds. Also, a main stage features well-known acts, such as Marcia Hines and the Perth Jazz Orchestra. A weekend event: if you can only make one day try for the Saturday so you do not miss the night parade at 7p. Admission is free. Review © 2007, Wcities |
