Fremantle’s 2026/27 events calendar lists Beerfest at the Esplanade Reserve on 13 and 14 November 2026 as the next big event, and Sail GP at Bathers Beach on 20 and 21 February 2027. The calendar gives dates and venues, not times or prices. It tells readers to go to Visit Fremantle for the latest event information.
This guide uses the 2026/27 events calendar PDF (a City of Fremantle calendar published on the Visit Fremantle website), read on 9 November 2026. It lists events from November 2026 onward below; events already held, such as Freo Pride on 1 November, are left out.

Where do I park in Fremantle for these events?
The calendar gives no parking advice. Our Fremantle parking guide sets out what the City of Fremantle publishes: 27 City-managed car parks, all-day rates from $11 up to $15 a day, and 30 minutes of free parking in High Street and in Adelaide Street between Parry and Queen Street. Several of the venues above, including the Esplanade Reserve and the Fishing Boat Harbour, have car parks on the City’s all-day list, though the Fishing Boat Harbour car park is charged by the hour (from $2.20 to $2.40) on Saturdays and Sundays.
What is still to be confirmed?
- Start times and ticket prices for each event, which the calendar does not give.
- Dates for the events marked “No date given”, including Grandies Big Day Out, Warndarnji and the Block Party.
- Any change to dates, because the calendar says its information was correct at the time of printing.
