Perth Royal Show

Approx. 8 days in late September (WA school holidays)

The Perth Royal Show is Western Australia's largest annual event, bringing around 400,000 people to Claremont Showground for eight days in the September school holidays. It is the state's traditional agricultural show: livestock judging, the animal nursery, district exhibits, woodchop, showbags, sideshow alley and nightly fireworks.

Running since 1834 in various forms, the show remains the WA country's annual visit to the city. Claremont sits on the Fremantle train line with its own station, making the trip easy from central Perth. Weekday mornings are the calm window; the middle weekend is peak crowd.
