About the Festival

Fremantle International Street Arts Festival started as a celebration of Fremantle’s local busking culture in 1999 and has grown into a showcase of the world’s best street theatre.

Each year over the Easter long weekend, the streets of Fremantle are transformed into an open-air theatre of the amazing, weird and wacky, while Fremantle’s famous alfresco dining steps up a notch, with pop-up bars and eateries extending into the streets.

Entertainment centres around several major ‘pitches’ or performance locations and roving performers pop up in surprising and interesting places all across the City.

AUDIO DESCRIPTION

Vision impaired or blind people can enjoy these shows via the Access All Arts audio description program, run in conjunction with DADAA. Check out the FAQs page for details on how to book this service..

BUSKERS

It takes a special kind of artist to entertain crowds on the streets and many of our performers have travelled across the globe to perform for you in Fremantle. If you’ve enjoyed their performance, put some money in the hat, this is how they make their living.

STREET THEATRE

Theatre doesn’t always need to be in a black box with curtains. Enjoy international productions performed in the open air.

ROVING

These performers aren’t static, you’ll see them pop up in places all around Fremantle during the festival. We’ve given you a starting point; see if you can catch them along the way.

MUSIC

There’s nothing better than the sounds of live music filling the open air during the festival. Check out this year’s musical acts and bands.

That’s a wrap folks – but just before we head That’s a wrap folks – but just before we head off and start planning for 2021 (we’ll be back, we promise) we wanted to throwback to 2014 when @jessicaarpin and her red-spotted frock hit the streets of Fremantle and wowed onlookers with her spell binding cycling prowess.

We can’t wait to see you on the streets next year, so until then stay safe and look after one another –we’ll be back before you know it
