14–15 November 2026 | 5pm–9pm nightly | Elizabeth Quay | Free entry
Looking for an excuse to spend an evening by the water? Perth Multicultural Festival is taking over Elizabeth Quay for a weekend of music, dance, food and family fun.
The floating stage will host cultural groups representing Brazil, Mexico, Thailand, China, India, Burundi, Poland, Colombia, Hungary and Germany. The program also includes musical performances from Croatia and Italy, alongside a celebration of Noongar culture.
Come hungry, pick up dinner from the food trucks and make an evening of it. Little festivalgoers can get involved with circus play, hula hoop workshops and arts and crafts, including making their own flag.
Stick around for the 8:50pm finale, featuring Phil Walleystack and special guests, with fireworks to round out the night. Visitors are also encouraged to wear traditional attire and celebrate their own cultural heritage.
Entry is free, and the event is alcohol-free. With road closures around the precinct, public transport is encouraged.
Gather the family or organise a catch-up with friends—your November weekend plans are looking good.
