Yirra Yaakin Family Picnic 2025

Description

Get ready for an unforgettable experience the annual Yirra Yaakin Picnic in 2025, a vibrant celebration of culture and local community.

Join us as we bask in a warm boonaroo sunset at Wandarguttagurrup, surrounded by the most talented Aboriginal theatre artists from WA. This is how we love to kick off the year with our cherished Subiaco residents and those from WA’s vibrant arts scene.

Enjoy the live music and dance, indulge in delicious samples of yonga stew, and ice-cream, prepared by Gather Foods, and visit a stunning exhibition.

This year the Annual Picnic coincides with the opening of the ‘Middar Koora ba ye’ exhibition in partnership with the Perth Festival.

Middar Koora ba ye Exhibition

Join us in celebrating Middar with an exhibition of incredible photos, articles and audio recordings from some of group’s most iconic moments over the last 50 years. It all kicks off at the Yirra Yaakin Picnic on Sun 16 Feb from 5.30pm. Live performances by the Middar dancers, including special appearances from some of the original members, will happen on Saturdays throughout the Perth Festival.

Yirra Yaakin Family Picnic is a free event proudly supported by City of Subiaco.
