Why you should go: The Perth International Jazz Festival is about bringing world-class jazz to the Western Australian capital. It showcases a blend of ticketed concerts and free outdoor shows across the Perth CBD, Northbridge, Subiaco, and Hyde Park.
By spreading performances across bars, clubs, and outdoor piazzas, the festival turns central Perth into a live jazz precinct for two weeks. The 2025 program includes headline artists like Samara Joy, Bill Frisell Trio, Hiromi, and Gregory Porter.
When: Saturday, 18 October to Sunday, 2 November 2025.
Where: Brookfield Place Precinct (CBD), The Ellington Jazz Club, Hyde Park, Subiaco, small bars/restaurants, etc. Make sure to check the event’s official website for more information.
Admission price/ ticket:
Parkhound Pro-Tip: Festival nights in Northbridge and the CBD mean higher demand and capped entry at nearby car parks. Pre-book a private space through Parkhound within walking distance of Brookfield Place or Roe Street to avoid paying for surcharge queues and guarantee a spot.
What’s it about: The Everlasting Kings Park Festival is a celebration of Western Australia’s native wildflowers and biodiversity. Each September, Kings Park and the WA Botanic Garden host floral displays, guided walks, themed talks, workshops, and family activities.
Visitors can explore more than 3,000 native species, enjoy art exhibitions, and even take part in a native plant sale. The 2025 program also marks the 60th anniversary of the WA Botanic Garden.
When: Friday, 12 September to Monday, 29 September 2025.
Where: Kings Park & WA Botanic Garden (Fraser Avenue, Perth) and Bold Park. Check the official BGPA website for event details.
Admission price/ticket:
Parkhound Pro-Tip: Kings Park offers free visitor parking, but car parks near Wadjuk Carpark and Fraser Avenue fill quickly during weekends. Time limits (often 4 hours on weekdays) are enforced, so check signage if you plan to stay all day. For a stress-free visit, pre-book a Parkhound space near the CBD and take bus route 935 or a short walk into the park.

Parkhound Pro-Tip: Given massive crowds, especially evenings and weekends, parking around Claremont Showground fills fast and can be expensive or restricted. Reserve a private space through Parkhound in Claremont or nearby suburbs. You can also use public transport, with Showgrounds Station on the Fremantle line stopping right at the venue gates.

Why you should go: If you’re into good food and wine, Entwined in the Swan Valley is the one weekend you don’t want to miss. Sip local wines straight from the vineyard, join a chef’s masterclass, or sit down to a long table lunch surrounded by vines. It’s all about celebrating WA produce in the state’s oldest wine region, with events ranging from high teas to markets and special dinners.
When: Friday, 24 October to Sunday, 16 November 2025.
Where: The festival spreads across the Swan Valley, with vineyards, cellar doors, and eateries opening up for special events.
Admission / Ticket: Tickets for the 2025 program are not yet on sale. Make sure to keep an eye on the official Entwined page for release dates. As a guide, past events ranged from around $25 for tastings and tours to $150+ for long table lunches and degustation dinners.
Parkhound Pro-Tip: Swan Valley venues often have small carparks that fill quickly on weekends. If you’re heading out for a long lunch or dinner, secure a Parkhound spot nearby in Middle Swan, Upper Swan, or West Swan. Daily and monthly options are available. Even better, pair it with a shuttle or rideshare so you can fully enjoy the wine tastings.
Why you should go: Once a year, Kings Park sets up a massive long table under the stars, and some of WA’s top chefs cook a multi-course feast. It’s one of those nights where you eat incredible local food, share wine with strangers who turn into table-mates, and get a view of the city all lit up around you.
When: October 2025 (exact date still to be confirmed).
Where: Kings Park, Perth. Make sure to check the BGPA events page for the final location.
Admission / Ticket:
Tickets haven’t dropped yet, but past long table dinners in Perth usually cost around $150–200 per person, which covers your food and wine.
Parkhound Pro-Tip: Kings Park parking is free but fills up quickly in the evenings. To avoid circling, book a Parkhound space in the CBD and take a short walk or hop on a bus up Fraser Avenue. That way, you’ll be on time to catch the sunset before dinner starts.
Why you should go: Spring in Perth isn’t complete without a trip to Araluen Botanic Park, where more than 100,000 tulips burst into bloom across the hills of Roleystone. The festival turns the park into a sea of colour, with winding paths, picnic lawns, food stalls, and live music creating an easy day out. Families can jump on the trackless train, while garden lovers can take in special displays and evening concerts among the flowers.
When: 22 August to 3 October 2025, daily from 9 am to 5 pm.
Where: Araluen Botanic Park, 362 Croyden Rd, Roleystone.
Admission/ticket prices:
There’s also “Symphony Among the Tulips” (evening event) priced at $69.Tickets are available online at the Araluen Botanic Park website.
Parkhound Pro-Tip: Parking at Araluen fills up quickly during the tulip festival, with queues at the gate and overflow spots a long walk from the main lawns. Book a Parkhound space in Roleystone or Kelmscott instead and take a short rideshare trip or jump on a short bus, so you spend more time among the tulips and less time stuck in traffic.
Why you should go: Foodies, buckle up! This signature WA festival brings together world-class chefs, local producers, and Margaret River’s famous wineries. Expect vineyard long-table lunches, masterclasses, beachside barbecues, and exclusive dinners hosted by top culinary names. Events are spread across wineries and coastal venues, so you’ll need to plan transport between them.
When: 16 to 22 November 2025, Daily from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM
Where: Margaret River, WA
Admission / Ticket Prices:
General/event day tickets vary depending on the experience (village access, dinners, masterclasses). Make sure to check the event’s website for the ticket pricing.
Parkhound Pro-Tip: Car parks around Margaret River town centre (Bussell Highway, Charles West Avenue, Willmott Avenue) fill quickly during the Gourmet Escape, and winery lots are often reserved for event staff or VIPs. Pre-book a Parkhound space along Bussell Highway or near Willmott Avenue in Margaret River town centre, or in Cowaramup if you’re driving in from Perth. From there, use festival shuttles or a short rideshare to winery events.
