Once again, the biggest event on New Years Day is the Perth Cup. But there are a few alternatives (if you’re wanting to head out to an event!).
I might add to this list, and please feel free to leave a comment below if you know of other good events!
I think a lot of places will be open, but it’s best to check beforehand, and also check if you need to book!
