Get ready, bright young things AWESOME is back!

The festival that turns Perth into a giant playground returns these September school holidays.

After a spectacular 2025 that brought creativity and connection to thousands of families right across Western Australia, the AWESOME International Arts Festival for Bright Young Things is gearing up to do it all again.
From 29 September to 3 October 2026, Perth's Cultural Centre will come alive with theatre, music, dance, workshops and heaps of free activities designed for children aged 0–12 and the grown-ups who love them.
