Thousands of visitors flocked to the Rockingham Beach Foreshore on the weekend to celebrate the completion of the recent foreshore upgrade.
The free, family-friendly celebration was held as part of the City’s Summer Series and boasted a packed program of events including street performers, aerial acts, a variety of interactive workshops, mermaids, ‘unicorns’, camels and a silent disco.
A major highlight of the event included a Nyoongar dance, Haka and Corroboree on stage.

“It was terrific to see so many families enjoying the event and the City thanks all visitors for making it one of the most memorable events we’ve had the privilege of hosting.
