More than 1500 people turn out for WA Day at the Geraldton Museum

A gloomy forecast gave way to sunshine as more than 1500 people turned out for WA Day celebrations at the Geraldton Museum on Monday. The chance of bad weather forced organisers to turn to plan B, with some of the events and activities cancelled or moved indoors. However, clear skies prevailed for most of the day allowing locals and families the chance to enjoy a day packed full of activities. The free event provided open access to explore the museum and exhibits including the Best Moments on Country exhibition, to mark National Reconciliation Week 2025. The day offered guests the chance to take part in art workshops, face painting and plenty of hands-on fun for kids. Outside, the museum lawns and Museum Lane were transformed into a vibrant festival space with food vans offering a multicultural feast. Museum of Geraldton regional manager Leigh O'Brien estimated between 1500-2000 people attended and enjoyed the activities during the day. WA Day is a day of celebration for all things Western Australian, recognising the importance of Aboriginal history, the role of early European settlers and the multitude of cultures who have made, and continue to make the State their home.
