Heavy rainfall has forced the cancellation of the WA Day Festival planned to run this Sunday and Monday in Perth . Despite promising the festival would “proceed rain or shine” this WA Day long weekend, a forecasted deluge and safety fears have prompted organisers Celebrate WA to call it off.
Carnival rides, a silent disco, and free live music events starring Guy Sebastian, Eskimo Joe, Sneaky Sound System and Pond were among the attractions set to draw thousands of families. A drone and fireworks spectacular was also planned for both nights. Recent rains and the forecast of more over the coming days left organisers with few options but to call it off.
