Spring into Armadale
As the clouds part, and the flowers begin to bloom, there are plenty of weekend activities to do in the Perth Hills Armadale region. Whether you’re accompanied by family or friends, immerse yourself in the heart-warming ambience of a community festival, nature hikes, and an orchard in bloom. There are a whopping 77 events happening in Armadale and the Hills this spring — here are just some of those activities happening this September.
Here are our picks of some of the events to experience during Spring into Armadale.
If you have kids, the AWESOME Armadale Kids’ Festival is the place for you. This is the first time AWESOME has put on its debut event, the AWESOME Armadale Kids’ Festival Hub and it looks like a great weekend of fun.
If connection with nature is closer to what you’re looking for, then head to Raeburn Orchards for the spectacle of spring blossoms gracing the backdrop of Perth Hills or smell the flowers at Araluen Botanic Park. Both of these spots are beautiful all year round; but when Spring hits and they’re in full blossom, it’s just magical.
These are just a couple of the whopping 77 events happening in Armadale and the Hills this spring — visit Perth Hills Armadale Centre or Experience Perth Hills for any updates or more information.
