The Fremantle Street Arts Festival - Easter Weekend

What a wonderful weekend to find yourself in Freo! TheFremantle Street Arts Festival has certainly drawn the crowds and the biggest problem you'll have is what to do first! With the infamous Cappuccino Strip closed to all vehicles, visitors are able to fill the streets and soak up the wonderful festival atmosphere.

The Fremantle Story website has a full list of all the events and today is the last day to get in on the action. With everything from an 'Instameet' to Japanese Origami and Circus Acts, there is definitely something for everyone, young and old. An impressive line up of both local and international performers creates a multi-cultural buzz for this meeting of talent from around the globe.


We grabbed our bikes and cycled along the river swan to one of our favourite cafes, Il Cibo. Just 2 mins from
the train station and always a taste sensation, we fuelled up on a sizeable brunch whilst my 8 year old nephew burnt off some energy on one of the many inflatable fun-fests over the road.

A short cycle onwards to the Esplanade and we stopped to watch 'Nagoya omotenashi busho-tai'. I have no idea what that means but some Take-That-esque dance routines and Samurai swords certainly had the audience transfixed. Here's a little clip..





Next stop was the Cappuccino Strip for Charlie Caper (Sweden), who's magic show was almost impossible to watch due to his captive audience.

A trip to Freo is never complete without a wander around the Markets, but I'll cover that in a later post. All in all a cracker event and well worth a visit!

Oh and Happy Easter!!
