Western Australia Day

Western Australia Day is an annual celebration that takes place on the first Monday in June. It is a special day for Western Australians to come together and honor their state’s history and culture through community events, festivals, and various activities. This day holds great importance as it commemorates the establishment of the Swan River Colony in 1829. It was initially known as Foundation Day but has now been rebranded. The celebrations provide an opportunity for Western Australians, especially those interested in local history and culture, to reflect on their colonial heritage and multicultural identity. The festivities include parades, concerts, and historical reenactments, creating a vibrant atmosphere throughout the state.
