Sat 28 Mar 2015 - Sun 29 Mar 2015

The popular annual takes place this year on the 28th and 29th March 2015 on Grand Boulevard in Joondalup. The two day festival runs from 2pm to 10pm on Saturday 28th, and from 2pm to 9pm on Sunday 29th.


This free community festival is the largest cultural event in the region, and is the culminating event of the City of Joondalup's summer event season. Visitors are invited to come along and enjoy the massive program planned for the festival, which attracts local and national artists, and includes a plethora of performances, music, comedy, theatre, circus, and the arts, to bring together the whole community over a jam-packed weekend.

This multi-arts festival encourages everybody to explore a 'curious landscape of colour and strange creatures'. The huge program of events caters to all ages, so there is something for everyone to discover and enjoy. Visit the Fairhaven Tent to enjoy world premieres by renowned playwrights of comedy, cabaret, theatre, children's shows, magicians, illusionists and more. Meet giant roaming snails, the Queen of Hearts, runaway gnomes, gypsy fortune tellers, and participate in fun activities in the Magic Gardens, and Wit's End Pond.


Chill out with tunes from bands, including The Fab Four, The Hepburns, Caitlin Beresford Ord, the Big Army Band, and the Hills Symphony Orchestra; and enjoy street performances in the Madhatter's alfresco dining, while watching the visual art installation melt and transform. Ice/Light/Sound is the festival's unique, ephemeral and interactive art installation that engages an all-ages audience to explore, play, and reflect. Beginning as perfectly sculpted cubes, the giant ice blocks gradually melt away from weather exposure and human hands. Everybody is invited to add to the installation by changing the shape, texture and size of the ice blocks, which are illuminated from underneath to glow with colour during both day and night.

The grand finale of the 2015 is a spectacular aerial fireworks display, alongside a high energy flame show by Zap Circus and Catherine Ashley. This colourful finale is best viewed from Grand Boulevard.
