WA Day: Fremantle festival organisers planning for wet weather as rain & storms set to hit Perth
The WA Day festival in Fremantle at Bathers Beach and the Fishing Boat Harbour is set to go ahead despite a weather forecast of rain and a chance of storms on Monday. The Port City event comes after last year's celebration in Burswood was re-scheduled to take place in November to avoid weather disruptions which have dampened festivities in previous years. In a bid to ensure this year's bash goes ahead, event organisers have planned ahead in anticipation for the wet weather. It is understood that performances including the vintage fashion parade on Bathers Beach boardwalk will be relocated indoors at Bathers Beach House and Kidogo Arthouse. Attractions for all ages at the WA Shipwrecks Museum and Little Creatures will also be moved indoors. Organisers said a free shuttle service would run every 15 minutes from 10.30am between Fremantle Train Station and the Fishing Boat Harbour and ponchos would be available on the day. The festivities in Fremantle will run from 11am to 6pm on Monday, June 2. Other cities hosting WA Day celebrations on Monday include Albany, Geraldton, Carnarvon and Kalgoorlie Boulder.
