Join us for this years Avon Descent Festival Opens in new window!
Featuring a series of family-orientated events held alongside the Avon Descent race, this fun-filled weekend is the perfect opportunity to get outdoors and experience the excitement of the race, which passes through the Swan Valley vineyard region, Upper Swan Bridge and Bells Rapids.
Watch and cheer from arguably the best seat in the house, the banks of Lilac Hill, as competitors paddle and race by.
To celebrate 50 years of this iconic event, we'll be hosting our first ever throwback museum, allowing visitors to explore the rich history of master crafts.
You'll also be able to sample delicious gourmet food and wine from local growers as you wander through pop-up artisan markets.
There's plenty of entertainment for the whole family with roving entertainment and show rides for the kids, and performances from local musicians.
We're also proud to announce that the festival will be plastic free for another year, as we play our part in environmental sustainability, with vendors only using reusable cutlery.
The Avon Descent Festival is proudly presented by the City of Swan and Perth Airport, and supported by Lotterywest and VCMPerth Events.
We can't wait to see you at this year's #avondescentfestival
