Both events will feature the legendary Hoodoo Gurus as their headline act.

Shire President Audra Smith said the festivals reflect the Shire’s commitment to bringing high-quality entertainment and vibrancy to the community and the Pilbara region.

We look forward to welcoming visitors and locals alike to enjoy everything, from rides and market stalls to food trucks, local performers and entertainment for all ages,” stated President Smith.

The two festivals will be jam-packed full of live entertainment, family-friendly activities, market stalls, fair rides and more.
