The festival started in 1964, aimed at making visitors to Busselton more welcome, and offer plenty of activities to do during summer. This locally-born Festival has enjoyed outstanding longevity. The fact that it continues to be embraced with such enthusiasm is a testament to the community's genuine affection for it. The Festival of Busselton remains as relevant today as it was 50 years ago. Long before the region carried the mantle 'Events Capital WA'; the Festival was delighting locals and drawing visitors. The success of the Festival of Busselton, especially during the early years, paved the way for the evolution of our now truly brilliant event calendar. Festival time is synonymous with summer time here in the City of Busselton and the programme is always packed with events & activities.

Discover the cultural stories of the Whadjuk Noongar people through a new, immersive audio experience at Yagan Square. Located in the Yagan Square Amphitheatre, Ngaank Boodja (mother country) is a soundscape of the voices, songs and sounds of women's country—honouring the area's history as an important meeting place and decision-making ground for Noongar women. Created by renowned Noongar producer and filmmaker Karla Hart, in collaboration with the award-winning Soundbyte Studios, the soundscape weaves immersive audio to share the stories of Goologoolup and the ancient wetland system that once thrived where Yagan Square stands today. The free experience takes you on an audio journey to the place beneath the buildings and concrete. A place teeming with life, from lapping water, children splashing and croaking frogs, to the beat of cockatoo wings and the distant murmur of women yarning. Ngaank Boodja also features six audio narratives that explore the deep, maternal connection to Country and celebrate the memories of ancestors who once walked the songlines of Goologoolup. Delivered by DevelopmentWA, Ngaank Boodja reflects an ongoing commitment to celebrating Aboriginal culture, promoting reconciliation, and activating public spaces in meaningful and inclusive ways.
