Perth Hills Events at Avon Descent

Every August, the iconic Avon Descent race—Western Australia’s legendary two-day, 124 km adventure across the Avon and Swan Rivers—spirals through the scenic Perth Hills region, culminating in the vibrant Avon Descent Festival at Lilac Hill Park, Caversham.

Perth Hills Events, organized in collaboration with the City of Swan, Perth Airport and Lotterywest to transforms the Lilac Hill riverside into a festive winter wonderland on Sunday, 10 August 2025.

Family fun was had with:

  • A snowy spectacle featuring an ice rink and snow arena for playful winter-themed activations

  • Pop-up artisan markets and gourmet food trucks offering local eats and delights

  • A lively DJ, plus live entertainment, kids’ activities, and interactive performances that keep the energy buzzing riverside

  • A single-use plastic–free zone with convenient water-refill stations to help all stay hydrated responsibly.

All of this wraps around the heart-pounding action of the Avon Descent race as competitors dash past—the best seat in the house to cheer them on
