Foodie festival to take over popular Perth CBD location
Perth's Yagan Square is set to transform into a vibrant hub of food, drink and entertainment when Taste the Square begins on June 4.
The festival presented by DevelopmentWA will bring together some of the precinct's most popular venues for 10 days of curated culinary experiences and live performances.
It is intended to entice locals, city workers and tourists back into the heart of the city with a program designed to get people eating, socialising and discovering the precinct.
Your local paper, whenever you want it.
Program highlights includes Bourbon and Brisket at Fat Controller on June 5, where guests will head underground into Stories' hidden speakeasy for a masterclass in slow-cooked meat paired with small-batch bourbons.
On June 12, The Shoe will come alive with a Drag Bingo event with Dean Misdale, offering a night of cocktails, cheeky prizes, and cabaret-style performances.
Tarot, Tequila & Tacos will take over Pink Taco on June 8 and 15, with Sunday margaritas and tacos and a dose of fortune-telling, with eight-minute tarot card readings available for all ticket holders.
Food lovers can also indulge in Chapters of Stories, a progressive dinner experience on June 4 and 11 throughout Stories' restaurants Ugly Baby, alba and KARLA. The Fat controller hidden in Stories will host the Bourbon and Brisket event. Credit: Spectacle Media
