8 – 17 February @ Leederville Village Square ·
Presented by City of Vincent ·

Dance in the dark, dine with friends and be awarded for ridiculousness at LeedyPalooza.

LeedyPalooza – where Leederville opens its doors and stops traffic to make room for Perth to get involved in this all-inclusive community based initiative. After the runaway success of last year’s LeedyPalooza events, Leederville Connect along with the City of Vincent once again combine to create the ultimate Leederville experience. With nine separate events planned for February, Leederville is set to shine as a venue for music, food, entertainment and culture.

Newcastle Street, near the Oxford Street intersection, will remain closed for the duration of the LeedyPalooza event opening it up to create a Village Square atmosphere. “Leedypalooza is an award-winning, whimsical and wildy fun adventure in Leederville, and we are so excited to welcome this back again,” said City of Vincent Mayor Emma Cole. “Vincent will be supporting the events with road closures, so people and local traders can spill out on the streets. Leederville is the place to be this February! Please come join us.”

On Sunday 10 February 2019 is Unfair Day: The best worst family street fair. Ever thought a lucky dip was just too lucky or that a fortune cookie was a little too kind? Try out the Unfair Day unlucky dip and crack open a misfortune cookie- LeedyPalooza is turning the iconic street fair on its head and mixing it up LeedyPalooza style. Unfair Day is a free event (seems a bit too fair for Unfair Day but we’re not complaining).

The party continues at LeedyPalooza on Sunday 17 February with Dancin’ in the Street. Be sure to wear your dancing shoes, and if dancing is not your thing, come on down and watch the ultimate dance off show down! No matter what your moves are like, LeedyPalooza invites you to dance with the family, a bunch of friends or encourages you simply to come solo to wow the spectators! All dance moves are welcome at Dancin’ in the Street. It is a free event, and at no cost there’s no excuse not to dance on down.
