Melville Midwinter is a free, family-friendly night of intimate performances that pays tribute to the change of seasons and the winter solstice. During the Noongar season of Makuru in June, the gorgeous surrounds of Dyoondalup Point Walter Reserve become a stage for artists and performers in a grand celebration.

We invite you to take time to reflect on the year that has been and ponder that which is still to come.

Immerse yourself in a cacophony of music, puppetry, spoken word, dance, food, fire and more, culminating in performers and peers taking an exhilarating plunge in the wintery waters of the Derbarl Yerrigan, beneath the scintillating stars of winter’s longest night.

“Melville Midwinter really prioritises connection, reflection, storytelling, and appreciation for community and country in a way that resonates well after it is over.” – Lyndon Blue, MusicianImage Credit: Melville Midwinter 2023 captured by Tashi Hall
