Water Lantern Festival
A little magic is coming to Jackadder Lake Reserve this November as the Water Lantern Festival makes its Australian debut. Over two evenings, the lakeside transforms into a glowing haven of music, food and shared moments, inviting guests to decorate and release their own lanterns across the water at sunset. It’s a deeply gentle, joyful experience — whether you’re gathering with loved ones, reflecting solo or simply soaking up the beauty of thousands of lights drifting across the lake. Expect live music, local food stalls and a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere that’s all about connection.
Saturday 8th & Sunday 9th November, from 4pm
Jackadder Lake Reserve, Woodlands
From Nonna with Love: Stories of Tradition and Triumph
A celebration of family, food and the women who shaped Western Australia’s Italian community, WA Maritime Museum’s latest exhibition feels like a warm hug from home. Step into Nonna’s kitchen and discover stories of migration, resilience and tradition brought to life through personal mementos, photographs and the comforting nostalgia of home-cooked meals.

Picnics At Yanehep’s Lavender Estate
Located only 40 minutes from Perth, Yanchep’s dreamy Lavender Estate has just reopened and primed for spring picnics and play dates. Right now, you’ll find thousands of ornamental lavender varieties on show, with the full burst to come through over summer. Plus, seasonal experiences like distillery tours and botanical cocktails, and a gorgeous Devonshire tea, complete with lavender scones. Before you go, grab a scoop of lavender ice cream and stroll through the gorgeous gift shop.
Terracotta Warriors, Legacy of the First Emperor
If you still haven’t seen the Terracotta Warriors, Legacy of the First Emperor exhibition on now at the WA Museum Boola Bardip, get to it. With more than 225 ancient artefacts on display and cutting-edge digital experiences, this daring exhibit takes you back 2000 years to the Qin dynasty, telling the story of its rise and impact in China. With some artefacts leaving China for the first time, this is your chance to witness a legacy.

Hidden Bars in Perth: The Secret Spots You Need to Know About
Spring is Here, Bottomless Brunch is Calling
Friday
Fridays at Luis’
Few clubs are as cool as Lawson Flats, so when they open the doors, you do not pass go, you do not collect $200, you head straight in, no questions asked. Open to outside friends via RSVP, Fridays at Luis’ (their vibey bar and restaurant) is the ideal post-work ritual, with great music, happy hour drink specials (5pm to 6pm), $3 oysters and well-priced bubbles all night. If you’re keen to stick around, it’s also a great opportunity to book dinner at the restaurant too.
Fridays from 5pm
Lawson Flats, Perth CBD
Saturday
Kith Turns One
How is Kith only a year old? The Nedlands brunch darling feels like it’s been part of our weekend ritual for years. To celebrate, they’ll have birthday cake from Teeter on and a $100 voucher up for grabs. Slide in from 7am to wish them a happy first (and potentially win yourself many fancy matchas and banging brekkies).
Saturday from 7am
51 Aberdare Rd, Nedlands
Lums Wine Bar
One of our favourite neighbourhood wine bars, Lums, has also just welcomed its first bottomless experience — fusing Spanish-inspired pinxtos and share plates with a bespoke line-up of bottomless wines (white, rosé, orange and chilled reds) and cocktails, including Zonzo’s much-loved spritzes. With drops handpicked by their knowledgeable bar team, you’ll be more than ready for another round.
$85pp ($70pp non-alc)
Saturdays, 1.5 hour sittings available between 12pm and 3pm
433 Hay St, Subiaco
Subi Night Markets
Back for another picnic season in the park, this dreamy night market brings a touch of Euro flair to Perth. A rotating line-up of over 40 incredible food vendors turn up each and every week — offering an international smorgasbord of street eats, from Italian arancini and birria tacos to French eclairs and glossy, chocolate-covered strawberries. The Spirit of Little Things bar is back again too, so you can roll out your picnic rug, pick-up some eats and then settle in with a drink or two as the sun sets. Throw on artisan retailers, roving performers and pop-up outdoor movie nights, and you’ll find all the excuses you need to stop in.
5.00 pm to 9.00 pm Saturdays
Market Square Park, Subiaco
Sunday
La Cabana’s Sunday Courtyard BBQ Series
Every Sunday our favourite seaside cantina pulls out the BBQ, filling the courtyard with smoky aromas and bold Latin American eats fresh from the grill. The one-day menu changes each time, drawing inspiration from different regions, from Argentina to Brazil. Each is guaranteed to be delicious.
Throw on a swim at South Beach and a frozen margarita for the perfect Sunday.
12pm to 5pm Sunday
400 South Terrace, South Fremantle
H&C Urban Winery Sunday Session
For some, Sundays are a day of rest. For H&C Urban Winery, they prefer to soak up the final weekend hours a little differently…with $10 bloody marys and $2 oysters, served up in their beautiful sun-drenched, plant-filled oasis. With so much space, there’s no need to book—gather your crew and stroll on in.
Sundays
H&C Urban Winery, Fremantle
Si Paradiso’s Sunday Sesho Spring Series
What better way to soak up the new-found spring sunshine than with a few vinos and pizzas at Si Paradiso? The breezy courtyard is always a vibe, the oysters are always $2 and the finest local selectors are always on music duties, with a fresh line-up of legends each week. Plus, this spring they’re introducing $4 gildas, gilda martinis, $40 bottles of prosecco, and the new drink of summer, sgroppinos—a boozy sorbet and bubbles concoction featuring Chicho Gelato goodness.
Walk-in or book ahead if you’re coming with a big group.
Sitchu Tip: If you happen to work in hospo, don’t forget to ask about their secret hospo menu—these legends will look after you!
From 12pm til late every Sunday
Si Paradiso, Mount Lawley
