A family-friendly festival is coming to the Vic Park foreshore this month

Plus Joondalup Festival's curious cube and more.

March 17, 2025

It’s so weird, we could have sworn the footy started last weekend? Maybe we got it wrong and both West Aussie teams are actually starting this weekend? Here’s hoping, otherwise it’s gonna be a very, very long season for all of us.

Sounds like today is the perfect day for a Paddy’s Day pint or two - happy Guinness-ing to all who celebrate (or are still celebrating)!

Troy Mutton, Editor-In-Chief, Perth is OK!

HOMES

While we’ve written about contemporary additions to character homes before, this Claremont renovation and extension by Cast Studio balances the best of the suburb’s plush Federation-era architecture with a crisply contemporary rear.

THE LATEST FROM PERTH IS OK!
EVENTS

The inaugural Arts & Culture Fest will be on Saturday 29 March, and will kick off at 6.30pm as the spectacular new Boorloo Bridge illuminates the evening sky.

It’s less than five hours by car from Perth (or a quick 45-minute flight with Nexus Airlines), and home to a burgeoning food and bev scene, seafood festivals, island hopping, art-lined streets, historical tours, water sports galore and much more:

EVENTS

UK indie rock royalty Bloc Party are headed down under, including a show at Perth HPC joined by special guests, Young The Giant. They’re celebrating 20 years as a band, and the 20th anniversary of their beloved debut album, Silent Alarm.

STAY OF THE DAY

This one-bedroom couples' getaway features uninterrupted views over the Preston Valley, beautifully-designed and promising peacefulness amidst modern conveniences.

TODAY/TONIGHT

Plonked smack bang in the middle of Boas Ave, The Cube is Joondalup Festival’s landmark digs for 2025. It’s the centrepiece of a vibrant hang-out hub, with a pop-up bar, foodie snacks and cosy nooks to watch as the multi-dimensional space comes to life.

LIFESTYLE

Up until a few years ago film processing labs had gone the way of video rental stores – basically extinct. In recent times however film photography, much like vinyl records, has come back in a big way, with people searching for authentic, nostalgic feeling photography that doesn’t just get lost in a sea of iPhone albums.
