This January, Elizabeth Quay transforms into the ultimate summer destination with eight spectacular nights of entertainment, promising fun, excitement, and unforgettable memories for all. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, you won’t want to miss the dazzling lineup of performances and events that make Lotterywest Summer Nights the highlight of Perth’s summer scene.
Building on the success of Perth’s first-ever floating stage in 2023, Lotterywest Summer Nights returns with a jam-packed program of immersive live performances, roving entertainers, and family-friendly activities. This year’s celebrations bring together a unique blend of music, drama, magic, and art, all set against the breathtaking backdrop of Perth’s skyline and the sparkling Swan River.
A floating stage like no other

At the heart of it all is the splendid floating stage hosting immersive live performances every night, surrounded by a cornucopia of food options and fun activities for the whole family. As the sun sets, the excitement builds up to a spectacular stage show, topped off with breathtaking fireworks from the Elizabeth Quay footbridge each night.
This state-of-the-art marvel turns every performance into an unforgettable visual feast. Wrapped in LED screens, the stage comes to life with vibrant colours and dynamic visuals, creating an immersive experience that can be enjoyed up close or from a distance, around the Quay. From live bands and dramatic performances to magical displays, the stage will host a series of exciting shows that will captivate audiences of all ages.
For a truly enchanting experience, grab a spot by the water and let the performances transport you. Whether you’re there for a relaxing evening or a lively night out, the floating stage ensures every moment is filled with joy and entertainment. The versatility of this modern venue allows each show to be presented in new and creative ways, so no two performances are ever the same.
Entertainment for all ages
