Two nights of celebration are coming to Elizabeth Quay for the second annual Perth Multicultural Festival.
Taking place on Saturday, November 14, and Sunday, November 15, the festival brings together traditions, flavours and performances from cultures around the world.
Last year’s event was awarded Best New Event in Australia at the Australian Event Awards, drawing 27,000 people to Elizabeth Quay.
“I couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve created right here in Perth,” said City of Perth Lord Mayor Bruce Reynolds. “There’s something really special about seeing families and friends from all walks of life coming together, sharing their traditions, discovering new cultures and creating memories.”
This year’s festival aims to build on the success of the 2025 inaugural festival, showcasing performances from 10 cultural groups representing Mexico, Thailand, China, India, Burundi, Poland, Colombia, Hungary, Germany and Brazil.
Ernie Dingo and Tina Altieri host the program, which is also set to feature special musical performances from Croatia and Italy, and a celebration of Noongar culture, dance and entertainment.
The highlight of the festival will be the fireworks finale.
Visitors can spend their evening on the water, feasting on the diverse menus of the food trucks, or keeping busy with kids’ workshops and cultural activities.
Perth Multicultural Festival will take over Elizabeth Quay on Saturday, November 14 and Sunday, November 15. The event is free to enter.
