Get into the Christmas spirit at Fremantle’s premier dockside location, Victoria Quay on Saturday 7 December at the new and free family Christmas Carnival from 3-9pm. This fun-packed carnival of rides, live music, food and family-friendly entertainment is part of the Quay to Summer program that runs through until March.
Kids will enjoy an Elf Show, skate workshops, face painting, giant bubbles and, of course, a visit from Santa himself, while big kids can grab a bite to eat from a selection of food trucks, browse market stalls, groove along to the sounds of WA Samba and take in great roving performances – all set against the stunning backdrop of the working port.
