🌿 What to Expect at the Hyde Park Festival 2026

A Two-Day Celebration of Community, Culture & Family Fun

The Rotary Club of North Perth are proud to bring the Hyde Park Festival is back on 1–2 March 2026, bringing two huge days of entertainment, food, markets, and family activities to one of Perth’s most iconic locations. Whether you’re a long-time festival lover or planning your first visit, here’s everything you can look forward to at this year’s event.

✨ A Festival for Everyone

The festival is completely free to attend, making it one of Perth’s most welcoming and accessible weekend events.

🛍️ Market Stalls & Local Makers

Wander through rows of artisan stalls featuring handmade goods, clothing, homewares, accessories, beauty, gifts and more. It’s the perfect chance to support local small businesses while finding something unique.

🍔 Food Trucks & Delicious Eats

Come hungry! Hyde Park will host a tasty lineup of food trucks and pop-ups serving everything from festival favourites to international flavours. Whether you’re after a sweet snack, a savoury feed, or a refreshing drink, there’s something for everyone.

🎶 Live Music & Cultural Performances

The main stage is packed with performers across both days — bands, vocalists, cultural groups, dancers and emerging talent. Expect a mix of energetic sets, chilled acoustic moments, and crowd favourites suitable for all ages.

🎤 Buskers & Roaming Talent

Across the park, buskers will keep the atmosphere buzzing with music and entertainment. Stop, listen, support, and enjoy the spontaneous festival magic.

🎭 Talent in the Park

Sunday evening brings the beloved Talent in the Park competition, sponsored by Bendigo Bank — a showcase of Perth’s rising stars competing for an $800 prize pool. * Applications for Talent in the Park open February 2026

🎈 Free Kids Zone

Keep the little ones entertained with free and low-cost activities in the free kids zone. From creative workshops to games and the Kids Treasure Hunt, there’s plenty for families to enjoy.

💛 Supporting Little Things for Tiny Tots

Behind all the fun is a purpose: raising funds for Little Things for Tiny Tots, a local charity helping provide essential baby care items to families doing it tough in WA. Every visit, donation and moment of support makes a difference.

🌳 Picnic-Perfect Park Vibes

Hyde Park’s lush lawns and shady trees make it the ideal setting to relax. Bring a picnic blanket, grab your favourite festival food, and soak up the atmosphere.
