It’s nearly spring, which means Perth’s iconic wildflowers will soon be in full bloom and there’s no better place to soak in our City’s stunning natural beauty (and snap the perfect Insta pic while you’re at it) than at the Everlasting Kings Park Festival. Running 12-29 September, this beloved annual celebration transforms Kings Park into a vibrant tapestry of colour, showcasing the breathtaking diversity of Western Australia’s wildflowers.

What to expect

The park will be awash with colour, with over 3,000 native plant species set to be on display. Visitors can wander through stunning floral displays, take part in guided walks, interactive workshops, and art exhibitions, many of them free and all of them designed to celebrate WA’s unique biodiversity and cultural heritage. If you’re keen to take a piece of the festival home with you, there’ll be a plant sale on from 13-14 September, where you’ll be able to purchase beautiful plants you might not be able to get your hands on anywhere else.

This year’s festival is extra special, marking the 60th anniversary of the Western Australian Botanic Garden – expect commemorative events like science tours, wellness activities, and family-friendly experiences that make the festival perfect for all ages.

How to get there

If you’re driving in, Kings Park has plenty of free parking for visitors. The main car park is Wadjuk Carpark, located behind Fraser's Restaurant.

For those catching public transport, Transperth bus route 935 travels from St Georges Terrace right into the heart of the park at the Fraser Avenue Precinct – alternatively, the Blue Cat bus travels between Perth Busport and Kings Park, via Perth Station and Elizabeth Quay Bus Station.

If you’re getting a taxi or rideshare in, there’s a drop off spot behind the Fraser's Restaurant complex and Aspects of Kings Park on Fraser Avenue.
