Beaufort Street, running through the centre of Highgate and Mt Lawley, offers a vibrant and dynamic street culture and an eclectic mix of music, art, food and fashion in a heritage streetscape – and Beaufort Street Festival celebrates everything that’s unique about the area as one of Perth’s most cutting edge retail and cafe strips.

An estimated 50,000 people attended the first ever Beaufort Street Festival last year and in 2011 the Festival is bigger and better than ever with a MUSIC program reflecting Perth’s independent music scene; ARTS showcasing local and new innovative talent; FOOD representing the best of Beaufort Street’s café, bar and restaurant scene; and FASHION from Beaufort Street’s quirky and off-beat boutiques.

Driven by the community and local businesses, the Festival’s strong creative focus and art direction reflects the unique style of Beaufort Street. Under the guidance of Dave Cutbush - Festival Director, the Beaufort Street Network has once again created a program of events that draws upon WA’s local talent and highlights the great sense of community in the area.

Nb. The Beaufort Street Festival runs Saturday November 12 from midday - 10pm. Beaufort Street will be closed from 6am - midnight on festival day.
