There will be plenty of fireworks on Australia Day weekend and not all of them will be in the sky over the city. The Fringe World opening gala will be taking over the Perth Cultural Centre and Russell Square in Northbridge with four days of zany entertainment. Much of it is free and planned with families in mind so get ready to join the fun.


The mermaid tank was a huge hit last year and they're back again with half hour shows every evening. They've also joined some seagoing friends to present the new Lotterywest Mermaid Tails and Pirate Sails . Both shows are free and suitable for all ages.


There's a free Kids Tea Party in the Spiegeltent, which will be located in the new Pleasure Garden in Russell Square. The Spiegeltent itself is a wonderful venue, more like a carousel than a performance space, with its bright striped canvas, banners, mirrors and tall gilt poles. It's the perfect place for song, dance, games and refreshments.

Crafternoon , also in Russell Square, offers hands-on fun making flowers for the Pleasure Garden.


In the evenings there will be plenty of entertainment in the Urban Orchard . You can expect to see musicians, jugglers, comedians and who knows what else. The ever-popular Silent Disco is returning, where it's fun to dance and possibly more fun to watch. (Note: the Urban Orchard is a licensed area and under 18's must be accompanied by a legal guardian.)


As well as the free fun, more than 20 shows are opening on the weekend. Be sure to check the Facebook page for the latest news and discount ticket offers.

Can't make it to the city? Try the outer Fringe at Midlanida or the Noodle Palace .
