For the duration of the 2025 Perth Festival, beacons of light stretch along the river from the hills to the sea, welcoming you to join us and be part of something extraordinary.

Inspired by the Noongar tradition of lighting fires to greet and guide visitors, Karla Bidi, meaning Fire Trail, transforms the Derbarl Yerrigan into a stunning, illuminated pathway. 

Each beacon is a campfire, a glowing symbol of welcome, warmth, safety and inclusivity.
