Wardarnji 2022

Wardarnji is back!

Celebrate the beauty of Nyoongar culture and the warmer Kambarang evenings and gather with us on the banks of Fremantle Arts Centre’s South Lawn for a breathtaking night of song, dance and storytelling on Whadjuk Nyoongar Boodjar.

Featuring traditional and contemporary performances by dancers of all ages, Wardarnji joyously showcases one of the world’s oldest and richest cultures.

Come along early to browse market stalls showcasing local Nyoongar makers, artists and small business owners, or simply settle in on the lawns and enjoy a pre-show picnic.
