As the Great Southern’s signature wildflower event, the Bloom Festival provides an opportunity for communities to work together and celebrate ‘everything that blooms’ throughout the region. Highlighting the character of rural WA, the Festival delivers vibrant experiences for a mix of visitors from around the nation to enjoy what our passionate communities have to offer during Spring.
Events and activities include arts, crafts, displays, exhibitions, fauna and flora-themed activities, creative workshops, food events, markets, Noongar cultural events, open gardens, wine and dine events, family fun days, movie nights, live music, heritage trails, guided flower walks, tours and hikes including through the Stirling and Porongurup Ranges.
The Festival spans the entire Great Southern region, from Kojonup, out to Pingrup, down to Bremer Bay on the coast, across to the Porongurups and Frankland River, taking in major centres such as Katanning, Kojonup, Denmark, Albany, the Stirling Range and Fitzgerald River National Parks and everything in between.
