Beaufort Street Festival 2010

Beaufort Street has always been at the heart of cool, alternative, independent culture in Perth, so it’s high time that we got a festival to celebrate the music, art, fashion and food that make the precinct so special.

The Beaufort Street Festival will showcase the cutting-edge talent and diversity of Perth’s musicians, artists, designers and culinary tastemakers on Saturday November 27.


Perth’s cultural hub will come alive with unique, quirky and stylish displays of bands, temporary art exhibitions and fashion parades, with the action taking place on the streets, in shops, cafes, bars and laneways.

The festival is the brainchild of the Beaufort Street Network, a collective of local businesses and residents, and they’re looking for help to make the event a representation of all that the Beaufort Street precinct has to offer.
