Fremantle Biennale - Sanctuary 25
Thursday 13th November 2025 to Sunday 30th November 2025
Held every second year, the Town of East Fremantle is proud to once again sponsor the Fremantle Biennale as a Presenting Partner.
Fremantle Biennale reveals and celebrates the cultural, social and historical distinctiveness of the Walyalup (Fremantle) region and will run from 13 to 30 November.
Vespers
As part of the festival, the Town is pleased to welcome a free Fremantle Biennale event, Vespers, to John Tonkin Reserve on Saturday 22 November.
Vespers, a sound, music and performance piece, carried across the river and sea, will see the horizon of the Swan River transform into a drifting chorus.
Starting at sunset (6.15pm), a fleet of couta sailing boats will drift downstream, past John Tonkin Reserve, offering a sonic precession shaped by light, weather and water.
Community members are invited to the view Vespers from the grassed and beach areas.
