Yagan Square will be transformed into a Fairytale Wonderland as part of the 2024 Telethon Family Festival taking place across the Perth CBD on October 20.
The continued partnership between the Cook Labor Government and Telethon will see the 2024 event mark a third consecutive year of Yagan Square's involvement as a major location for the Telethon Family Festival, building on the success of previous events.
Running from 10am-4pm, the Fairytale Wonderland at Yagan Square will provide activities and performances inspired by classic fairytale stories, including:
- an Alice in Wonderland potion making;
- a Peter Pan treasure hunt;
- a Cinderella silent disco, and more.
Other highlights include a real-life mermaid/merman show and mascot dance competition with Fat Cat and Little Telethon Stars.
Yagan Square's future neighbours - the new Edith Cowan University City campus - will also bring energy and excitement to the day, with performances from WAAPA students and alumni, a 360-video activation and a chill-out zone for families to unwind and have a break from the energy of the day.
The 2024 Telethon Family Festival - part of the 57th annual Telethon Weekend - is a highlight on Perth's annual event calendar, creating an inclusive event for families and children.

As stated by Lands Minister John Carey:
"The 2024 Telethon Family Festival marks Yagan Square's third consecutive year involved as a key location to explore and experience some of the festival's highlights.
"Telethon has inspired millions of Western Australians, and the Cook Labor Government is deeply proud to continue partnering with and supporting Telethon.
"Telethon is a WA icon - one of the great institutions of this State and ensures some of the most vulnerable children in our community get the support they need.
"Building on the success of previous years, it's brilliant to bring the 2024 Telethon Family Festival which will be a Fairytale Wonderland to Yagan Square - providing inclusive and family-friendly activities for everyone.
"The Cook Labor Government continues to drive revitalisation of our city and is investing hundreds of millions of dollars to create jobs and economic activity, and attract more people to the Perth CBD."
