Every year, without doubt the biggest Australia Day celebration for Perth dwellers would be the Skyworks , followed by the Indian Ocean Skyshow .

However, if you can't be bothered with all the struggling for a parking place and a picnic place, the struggling to find your kids among the throng of people in the dark, or the struggling to get out once the event is finished, then you might want to pay attention to the list below.



This article lists down other Australia Day celebrations around Perth. Some happen in the evening and has their own fireworks, whereas others happen in the morning so you can still go to your local event and then head to the big fireworks show later in the afternoon. In any case, there's no reason to miss out on the fun on this special day.
