    Important Information - No Celebration Zone in the Afternoon/Evening

    Community members are reminded that there is no major fireworks event or celebration zone at South Perth Foreshore on Australia Day. The best spot to see the City of Perth’s fireworks and drone show is at Langley Park from 3pm. 

    Fireworks Viewing

    For the best experience, the City of Perth encourages viewing the fireworks show from Elizabeth Quay and Barrack Square. If viewed from areas outside of Elizabeth Quay, the audience will be unable to hear the narrated soundtrack or have access to event facilities.
