Perth is gearing up for a delightful Easter long weekend, with weather forecasts predicting mostly sunny skies and mild temperatures, creating ideal conditions for the array of family-friendly events planned across the metropolitan area. The Bureau of Meteorology indicates that Good Friday will be mostly sunny with a high of 28°C, while the rest of the weekend will see balmy temperatures around 25°C or lower, accompanied by partial cloud cover and only a slight chance of showers.
Northern Suburbs Easter Celebrations
In the northern suburbs, the Easter in the Park event will take over Sunny Social at Hamersley Public Golf Course on Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 1pm. This family-oriented gathering features a variety of activities designed to entertain visitors of all ages, including arts and crafts, lawn games, and an exciting Easter egg hunt. Adding to the magic, Ella Monaghan will appear as the Easter Fairy, spreading joy and assisting with photo opportunities alongside the Easter bunny.
"I just love seeing the looks on the kids' faces whenever they see a fairy in real life, or the Easter bunny," Ella shared. "It's so special to be able to spread that joy and make little dreams come true over the holiday weekend."
Southern Suburbs and Market Events
For those in the southern suburbs, the City of Cockburn's Easter Fair offers a free afternoon of entertainment on Saturday from 3pm to 7pm at Aubin Grove Reserve. The event will include:
- Twilight Markets with handmade wares and fresh produce
- Live music and roving entertainment
- A variety of food trucks catering to all tastes
Further afield, the Swan Settlers Market has scheduled several activities over the long weekend:

- On Sunday, from 10am to 2pm, an animal farm provides more cuddly options for families.
- On Monday, starting at 11am sharp, a special Easter Egg Hunt will cap off the festivities, complemented by face-painting and other engaging activities.
Road Safety Reminders for the Holiday
With double demerits in effect from Good Friday, road safety officials are urging caution. Road Safety Commissioner Adrian Warner emphasized, "Our message around Easter is we want everyone on the road—including drivers, motorcyclists, pedestrians, and cyclists—to have a safe journey." This sentiment was echoed by Road Safety Minister Reece Whitby, who added, "What we want to avoid at all costs this season is the loss of any Western Australian in a road accident. This is a time to take it easy and think about your travel plans."
