Organiser’s and Participant Involvement

Want to be involved in the 2008 Fremantle's Heritage Festival?

We invite you to take part in this exciting festival by creating a special event associated with Fremantle’s heritage.

There is no charge for participation in the Fremantle Heritage Festival and it is extensively promoted by the City of Fremantle through widespread publicity and the distribution of programs. Festival events include talks, performances, exhibitions, public art and heritage walks, tours of heritage buildings, and workshops and seminars.

Most of the events are presented free of charge, small coin donation or low cost. Should the event be ticketed, organisers are requested to acknowledge the Fremantle Heritage Festival as part of any promotion or publication that may be undertaken.

If you would like to discuss ideas about an event simply call Rebecca Cox on 9432 9839 or email heritagefestival@fremantle.wa.gov.au .
