Cosy at the Quay: Elizabeth Quay to transform into free winter wonderland for school holidays
Cosy at the Quay is set to evoke a European winter by offering free, family-friendly activities from noon to 10pm on July 18-20.
It will snow each day on the hour every hour from 1pm to 9pm for approximately 15 minutes.
Visitors are reminded not to forget their jackets and cameras, and to be quick, as snowflakes don't float for long.
At the very heart of the event is a heated retreat called the winter dome, a glowing sanctuary drenched in cosy charm and snug furniture.
By day, it's a family-friendly haven with a live piano accordion and kids dance party, and by night, Perth's hottest DJs transform the dome into Euro Nights.
If you're craving something sweet, marshmallow toasting will take place by cosy fire pits from 3pm to 6pm each day, with marshmallows and sticks provided for free.
There will also be plenty of options to eat and drink – from European-inspired comfort food, including Polish-style toasted sandwiches and wood-fired pizza, to toasty treats and drinks.
Other entertainment will include live opera and poetry, Viennese waltzing, stilt-walkers and European folk lessons.
For some extra school holiday fun, kids hour will happen from 2pm -3pm on Friday with a kid-friendly dance party bringing the vibes and a special appearance from The Ritz Carlton Perth mascot Leo the Lion.

Loulou Bistro opens at Martin Place with a steak frites sandwich and happy-hour snails
During weekday happy hour (4-7pm) there will be $2 escargots and oysters, while the lunch and dinner carte lists Toulouse sausage with pomme puree, a mushroom and truffle vol-au-vent, seafood platters and French onion soup. Steak frites are having a bigger moment than usual in the CBD, with 24 York opening on July 23 and taking inspiration from Le Relais de l'Entrecote in France, which has successfully leant on the dish for more than half a century. Bouillon l'Entrecote at Circular Quay is another go-to venue for French-style steak and chips. 'Our focus won't be on steak,' says Parker of the opening menu at Loulou Martin Place. However, with steak frites one of the best sellers at the Milsons Point restaurant, it still features on the menu, along with a version encased in a baguette. 'We want to bring that feeling of a neighbourhood restaurant across to the city,' says Parker said. Plans are underway for the brand's further expansion, too. Later this year, a fast version of Loulou Bistro will open at the Qantas Domestic Terminal at Sydney Airport.

A personal stylist (and mum) shares the two comfiest pants you can own
This story is part of the July 20 edition of Sunday Life. See all 13 stories. Each week, we quiz a prominent person about their style and the inspiration behind it. Ahead, personal stylist Liv Brown. How would you describe your style? I wear lots of patterns – I feel most myself in animal print. There's always something oversized, and heaps of fun accessories. What's the oldest thing in your wardrobe? My mum's wedding ring and some of her old handbags. A black leather bag with silver studs from the '90s is a favourite. And the most recent addition? A Blanca matching denim set – jeans and an oversized shirt – in black-and-white zebra stripes. Sets are easy because I feel put together without having to think. What would you wear … on a first date? A denim set with kitten heels and my fluffy Mane by Stable 'Sheila' bag. … on a plane? I know people are into their airport fits, but I just go comfy in sports leggings, a colourful, oversized Jungles Jungles hoodie and my Nike 'TN' sneakers. … on the red carpet? I'm dying to wear a custom dress by Melbourne designer Van Der Kooij. Loading What's your favourite fashion era? The 1960s for the miniskirts, chunky boots, shift dresses and prints. Who are your favourite designers? Locally, its Blanca, Van Der Kooij and P.A.M. (Perks and Mini) for their cool graphic tees. European brands I like are Stine Goya for the prints and great bags, and Baum und Pferdgarten for the cool Scandi vibe. I also love Ganni – it's cool and feminine but not 'pretty'. What's your fragrance of choice? I wear Rabanne 'Olympea'.
