Socialise with EnjoyPerth!

I’d hereby like to wish you all the best for 2008 – enjoy yourselves, whatever you do!!

So what’s happening in Perth and Fremantle, Western Australia in January 2008….

January is fairly quiet (except Australia Day!), because a lot of people are on summer holidays. But there’s still plenty, and also keep an eye on your local council, many of them have free concerts happening throughout the summer.
And see more events in what’s on this week and the event calendar. Please submit events that are missing.

Please remember the list below is of the bigger events and other highlights!

By the way, Monday 28 January is a public holiday (for Australia Day, though that is celebrated on Saturday 26 January)!
