Perth to launch new winter arts and cultural festival

Supported by the Western Australian Government and produced by ARTRAGE, a new winter arts and cultural festival is being launched for Perth this July, during school holidays.

The new festival ‘RE//Perth’ will activate multiple Northbridge spaces in a celebration of creativity and urban exploration.

The 10-day event will run during the second week of the school holidays, from 4th-14th July, with a hero production running from 2nd-27th July.

There will also be a huge range of free and ticketed events.

The festival will centre around four key themes:

1. Food element (RE//BIRTH) – including a Winter Banquet with high-end degustation food and wine experiences, plus a food market with winter favourites like roasted chestnuts, toasted marshmallows, mulled wine, hot apple cider, and live entertainment;

2. Performance element (RE//FLECT) – centring around an exclusive, large-scale WA premiere of dance and acrobatic show The Mirror, from multi-award-winning producers Gravity and Other Myths, which will run for four weeks;

3. Kids element (RE//PLAY) – attracting children and families during the school holidays with live entertainment, interactive winter-themed activities, snow cone creations, snowflake projections, live ice carving, winter-warming drinks, and marshmallow toasting;

4. Sustainable fashion element (RE//PURPOSE) – highlighting the value of recycled and repurposed fashion through workshops for children and adults.

The festival is a new and diverse homegrown addition to WA's events calendar delivered by ARTRAGE, the local not-for-profit registered charity and WA arts and cultural organisation known for producing the annual FRINGE WORLD festival.
