This will be a fun annual event at Victoria Quay, Fremantle Port. It celebrates all things maritime and is a great day to enjoy the port, the people and the exhibitions.

It will be held at the historic B Shed, which is on Peter Hughes Drive, and surrounding areas on Victoria Quay. This area takes advantage of the amazing Fremantle Harbour location.
