What’s On in Perth: October 2026

The only guide you need to what's on in Perth this month and beyond.

La Lune

This month in Perth (October 2026), expect warm afternoons and evenings worth staying out for. Spring has properly hit its stride, and the city has filled its calendar to match: jazz drifting across Brookfield Place, new seasons opening at PICA and AGWA, and Fremantle turning its attention to design and circular fashion. Between long Sunday lunches, a fresh wave of wine bars and markets that run well past sundown, our editors rate this as one of the most rewarding months of the year to get out and about. Plenty of it is free, family-friendly or an easy train ride from the CBD. Book early for the dinners and festival headliners, and read on for tickets, dates and timings as October unfolds.

Every Thursday and Sunday, simply swan in, grab a martini or a bottle of something good and settle at one of the white tablecloth-covered tables for an evening of live contemporary jazz from 7pm to 9pm. Hungry? Greek shares like haloumi saganaki, spanakopita and lamb koftas are all here too. Entry is free, but it’s a first-in-best-dressed kind of operation, so get in early to secure a seat.

Picoso Mexican Cocina has landed at Southside Drive, bringing pretty pink-hued interiors and punchy Latin American flavours to Hillarys Boat Harbour. Its menu is made for sharing, spanning ceviche, grilled prawns, tacos, burritos and plenty of the cheesy, crunchy, smoky things you want on a night out, capped off with churros and spiced chocolate to finish. For now, the bar is just pouring mocktails and soft drinks, but you’re welcome to BYO something boozy.

Kissa Listening Bar

Kissa is the new pop-up listening bar inside Piazza Fremantle. Here, you can BYO a delish bottle, settle in and properly listen to a record rather than having it disappear into the background. The Japanese-inspired setup is all about good sound, good albums and a slower kind of night out. It’s sticking around at least until the end of the year, so there’s plenty of time to make a night of it. Our recommendation? Start with drinks and nibbles at Wise Child, then head here with a bottle in hand. Bliss!

Coming Soon


Perth Festival

I know, I know, this one is a while off, but Perth Festival’s first big announcement has given us a few very good reasons to start looking ahead.

The festival will open with ROHTKO, an ambitious, extraordinarily big live theatre and cinema production inspired by one of the art world’s most notorious forgeries, making its Australian debut at Perth Festival from from February 5th to 13th at His Majesty’s Theatre.

Then there’s Hotel Pro Forma’s Operation:Orfeo, a visually spectacular, underground reimagining of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth that will radically challenge any preconceived ideas of what an opera looks like. Thirty years on from when it first haunted Australia, the cult Danish opera has been newly refurbished, ready for another descent. The sensory experience explores emotion and story through bodies, light and symphonic a cappella rather than conventional plot, with the Latvian Radio Choir singing Ib Michael’s libretto alongside music by Bo Holten and excerpts from John Cage and Gluck, all performed on a transcendent staircase of light. Entirely mesmerising and not to be missed, it’s here for three nights only, from February 25th to 27th at His Majesty’s Theatre.

At East Perth Power Station, The Avalanches are booked as the season’s major headliner, closing out the music program on Sunday 28th February with the symphonic grooves that made them a household name.

Where: Venues across Perth, including His Majesty’s Theatre and East Perth Power Station
When: Friday 5 to Sunday 28 February 2027

Cost: Varies per event
Best For: Theatre lovers; Live music fans; Cultural experiences
