“Grab this opportunity to walk, talk, eat, play, and learn about sustainable living with all of Perth’s community groups in one place.
“We will have loads of family fun with children’s nature play area/activities; waste and reuse education; recycling and re-skilling; urban agriculture; garden design, forgotten crafts and trades being demonstrated and on sale; music; entertainment, and even the Swan Valley Adventure Centre’s high ropes course and flying fox will be open.
“We want the festival to celebrate and share the great work community groups are doing every day in WA.”
The festival will close with the Formidable Vegetable Sound System band performing.
A free shuttle bus service will run every 15 minutes from the Midland Train station from 10am to 4pm, with the last bus leaving at 4.45pm.
