East Fremantle Bites & Beats: A Free Community Festival with Australian Idol Star
The Town of East Fremantle, in partnership with Belgravia Leisure, is set to host a vibrant and free community festival next month. East Fremantle Bites & Beats will transform the East Fremantle Community Park into a lively hub of entertainment, food, and family-friendly activities. The event is scheduled to run from 3pm to 8pm on Saturday, February 21, offering a perfect summer evening for residents and visitors alike.
Live Music Lineup Featuring Australian Idol Winner
The musical component of the festival promises to be a highlight, with a diverse lineup of performers taking the stage. Headlining the event is Dylan Wright, the winner of Australian Idol in 2024, who will perform in a trio setting. Joining him are other talented artists, including Coby Grant, James Wilson, and the local AC/DC tribute band, Macca Dacca. This mix of genres ensures there will be something for every music lover to enjoy.
Family-Friendly Activities and Community Engagement
Beyond the music, the festival is designed to foster community connections and provide fun for all ages. Children can look forward to a range of activities, such as giant games, face-painting, and twilight bowls. Additionally, there will be an art activity where attendees can engage creatively, and opportunities to meet with the town's public art panel members.
Mayor Tony Natale has extended a warm invitation to the community, emphasising the event's focus on relaxation and socialising. "Bring your friends and family, pack your picnic rugs or outdoor chairs, and unwind and socialise with your neighbours," he said. "This is a chance to celebrate our local culture and talent in a relaxed, outdoor setting."
Food and Dining Options
Food enthusiasts will be spoilt for choice at the festival. A variety of delicious food trucks will be on site, offering quick and tasty bites. For those preferring a more seated dining experience, Carnaby's Bar and Restaurant will be available, with tables that can be booked in advance. This ensures that everyone can enjoy a meal while soaking up the summer atmosphere.
The event also provides a unique opportunity for community members to interact with local leaders. Visitors will have the chance to chat with the mayor, councillors, and town staff, fostering a stronger connection between the community and its representatives.
