The Bloom Festival provides an opportunity for communities to work together and celebrate ‘everything that blooms’ in the region. Each year, passionate people from rural and regional townships across eight shires collaborate on a festival like no other, ensuring a trip to the Great Southern takes pride of place on the Australian travel calendar each spring. Events and activities include arts, crafts, displays, exhibitions, fauna and flora-themed activities, creative workshops, food events, markets, Noongar cultural events, open gardens, wine and dine events, family fun days, movie nights, live music, heritage trails, guided flower walks, tours and hikes including through the Stirling and Porongurup Ranges. The Festival spans from Kojonup, out to Pingrup, down to Bremer Bay, across to the Porongurup and Frankland Rivers, taking in major centres such as Katanning, the Stirling Range and Fitzgerald River National Parks and everything in between. Make sure you put this wildflower wonder on your itinerary to explore all the blooming best of the Great Southern Treasures in Western Australia. The 2024 Great Southern Treasures Bloom Festival is presented by WCP Civil and supported by the State Government through Tourism Western Australia, Royalties for Regions and the following partners: Australia's South West, Rio Tinto, Road Safety Commission, Great Southern Development Commission, Clever Octopus, and CBH Group.
