Southside Summer returns in 2025. Come along to Mindeerup at South Perth Foreshore from Wednesday 29 January until Wednesday 5 February for free family fun activities, activations and live entertainment. 

Southside Summer is part of  FRINGE WORLD 2025, Perth’s most popular annual festival.

Bring your family, a picnic and rug, and settle in for a beautiful sunset over the City; accompanied by roving entertainment, live music, awe-inspiring circus shows, hands-on circus workshops plus a chance to meet the performers!

From 6pm, take a seat, relax and enjoy live entertainment from roving entertainers, stilt walkers from Little Legends Entertainment and Junkadelic Brass Band.
