Splashfest

Keep your cool and beat the heat on March 10 as the annual Splashfest takes over Swanbourne Reserve, presented by the City of Nedlands and Nedlands Youth Advisory Council. From 2pm to 5pm, it’s an afternoon of free fun in the sun with water, water everywhere across a variety of slides, rides, games, stalls and more.

A chillout marquee will also be on hand, giving people a chance to relax, take a break and enjoy a range of entertainment from young and local musical acts. Nedlands Mayor Max Hipkins described Splashfest as a popular annual event for youth, children and families, creating a dynamic hub of music, recreation and performance.

"Splashfest celebrates our region’s young people and everything they contribute to a vibrant community," he said.

"Each year, the City of Nedlands provides free activities that promote inclusiveness, active lifestyles and the importance of simply enjoying youth.

"This event is really aimed at bringing young people in our community together in a safe and inclusive environment, where they can engage in a fun and healthy way.

"If you remember the joy of running under the sprinkler on a hot day or using a slip’n’slide on the lawn, Splashfest takes these little joys and provides them on a much bigger and exciting scale."
