Weekends In Perth ON

Visit Perth every weekend for pop-up entertainment around town. This page has the weekly line-up and be sure to visit Perth Tourism's Facebook page for full details each week. 

Entertainment may include musicians, magicians, stilt-walkers, costumed characters, horse and wagon rides... there has even been a nine-foot dinosaur roaming the streets! 

Most entertainment can be found roaming the streets downtown, around the Tay Basin, in the bandshell and/or in Stewart Park. Occasionally Perth Tourism and the Perth BIA partner with businesses to host entertainers onsite, too. 
 
Please take a photo of the entertainment (or of yourself enjoying the entertainment!) and share it on social media with the hashtag #WeekendsInPerthON You can also use that hashtag to search and see what entertainment has been featured in the past. 
 
As you enjoy the entertainment, please follow the health and safety protocols including face coverings and physical distancing.
