G’day mates! Mark your calendars for a cracker of an event at the Canning Show 2025! Happening from 31st October at 5:00 PM to 1st November at 10:00 PM, it’s set to take place at the bustling Cannington Exhibition Centre & Showgrounds, right at the corner of Station Street & Albany Highway in Cannington, WA. This fab event, organized by the legendary Canning Agricultural, Horticultural & Recreational Society Inc., promises a spectacular time for the whole family with an exciting mix of fireworks, farm animals, and a smorgasbord of food and fun – all packed with free activities across the board. Trust me, you’ll want to be part of this community celebration!
So, why stand in line at any ol’ festival when Canning Show 2025 offers a truly local, vibrant atmosphere just a hop, skip, and a jump from Perth’s CBD? From thrilling rides and live music to interactive kids’ zones, this show is bursting at the seams with activities that will keep everyone entertained. Besides the array of entertainment, the rich history behind the organising society, established way back in 1894, lends an authentic touch to the vibrant cultural tapestry that we call home in Cannington.
If you’re wandering around Cannington, don’t miss out on the delightful “Little Olive Leaf Café” on a nearby side street. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle, it serves up a mean flat white alongside delicious home-baked treats – perfect for a quick pick-me-up during your day at the show.
To beat the crowds, try getting there before the doors open. Take advantage of the easy-access public transport options, with Cannington Station just a short stroll away. Driving in? There’s parking available but spots fill up faster than a roo on the hop, so maybe consider parking a bit further out and enjoying a leisurely walk in.
For a proper Aussie feed, head to “The Cannington Hotel” nearby – a favourite among locals for its hearty pub meals and relaxed atmosphere. Whether it’s a classic schnitty or a cold pint you’re after, this place has got you covered before or after the show.
It’s springtime in Cannington, mate, so you know how it can be – warm and sunny in the day with a chance of cool breezes come evening. Definitely throw in a jacket in case the evening air turns brisk, and don’t forget the sunscreen for those clear, sunlit skies.
