Fremantle International Street Arts Festival 2026: What’s On and Where to Stay

Fremantle International Street Arts Festival 2026

From 3 to 6 April 2026, the Fremantle International Street Arts Festival returns to Walyalup/Fremantle for four days of bold, playful and inventive performance. Held every Easter weekend, FISAF is a free premier event that transforms the city’s streets and laneways into an open-air stage.

Since 1999, the festival has welcomed world-class street theatre to the heart of Fremantle. Across the long weekend, audiences are invited to witness acrobatics, comedy, circus, music and visual theatre as it spills out into public spaces.
