Perth is set to launch a new winter arts and culture festival this July, with RE//Perth activating multiple Northbridge spaces in a celebration of creativity and urban exploration.
Delivered by ARTRAGE — the WA arts and cultural organisation renowned for producing the annual FRINGE WORLD festival — RE//PERTH is a diverse homegrown addition to the state’s events calendar.

The festival will warm up the winter school holidays with a mix of family friendly, free, and ticketed events. Not to mention bespoke dining experiences, live entertainment, sustainable fashion activations, and a flagship large-scale production.
The 10-day event will run from Thursday, July 4th to Sunday, July 14th, with a hero production spanning from Tuesday, July 2nd to Saturday, July 27th.
“This festival will continue to create vibrancy in Perth during the winter months, bringing more people into the city to experience the multitude of experiences RE//Perth has to offer,” WA Tourism Minister, Rita Saffioti.
“Our vision is to give people a reason to visit WA every month and every season. We feel this new festival certainly has the potential to build on this aspiration and become a really iconic homegrown event that WA can be proud of.”
