The annual Point Walter Concert, supported by Lotterywest, will feature live music, children's entertainment, and a grand fireworks finale to celebrate 50 years as a city!

It will be held on 4th March, 2018 at the Point Walter Foreshore, 3 Honour Avenue, Bicton, from 4.30 pm to 8.30 pm. Arrive early to get a good spot!

This year's line-up is headlined by Slim Jim and the Phatts.



Slim Jim are a local seven-piece band, known performing classic party hits from previous decades, right through to current Top 40 songs. Also appearing is the Big T Trio, who were an X-Factor finalist, and Rising Sun, a Cold Chisel tribute band.

The Wadumbah Dance Group is a family group with Uncle James T Webb and his sons and there are often other community dancers in this amazing act.

They have been entertaining locally, statewide and internationally for the past 20 years. They are a "theatrical, athletic, and dynamic" dance group who are amazing to watch and Uncle Jimmy is also incredibly skilled on the didjeridoo.



This is a FREE concert which has become a Labour Day long weekend tradition. It will be hosted by Nova 937 announcer, Ross Wallman.

Visitors can set themselves up on the grass banks of the Reserve for an evening of family entertainment and fireworks. With the City celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2018, Melville Mayor Russell Aubrey said this year's event would be the biggest yet.

Here is a preview of this year's concert:
