What's On Thursday 26 February:
Plant-Based Banquet at Servo Leederville
Spoil your senses at Servo’s plant-powered dinner party inspired by Mort Garson’s whimsical 1976 album, Plantasia. The one-night-only immersive dining experience features a multi-course plant-based banquet and paired vegan bevvies, all set to a full-album soundtrack of plantastic tunes. Tickets are selling fast, so book your table today to avoid going green with envy.
Tableside-Torched +9 Wagyu at Samuels on Mill
We’re suckers for a bit of tableside theatrics here at Urban List, and Thursdays at Samuels on Mill are getting lit—literally. Every Thursday in March, you can watch top-tier Wagyu sizzle as it’s torched tableside. The premium mosaic meat comes wrapped in nori with avocado mousse, saffron and a drizzle of emulsified sake, but this kind of luxury doesn’t require draining your bank account, either, with Wagyu starting at $46.
What's On Friday 27 February:
21st Annual Sculpture By The Sea at Cottesloe Beach
After a 2025 hiatus, the beach is about to get sprinkled with 70 mind-blowing, gravity-defying, thought-provoking sculptures from WA and around the world, turning the famous sand, sea and sky of Cottesloe Beach into our very own open-air gallery. Grab your sunnies, slip on your walking shoes, and wander among wor ks that will make you stop, stare, laugh, scratch your head and do a double-take. Free to roam, endlessly photogenic and packed with surprises at every turn, it all kicks off this Friday at Cott.
What's On Saturday 28 February:
IWD Rise & Grind at General Public Co. Scarborough
Shake off the snooze button and stroll down to Scarborough for sunshine, stretching and supporting women’s health. The morning begins with a casual education session, followed by a beginner-friendly yoga flow, hot coffee, baked treats and good convo with like-minded women with 100% of the ticket sales going directly to Luma, the local not-for-profit dedicated to women’s health and wellbeing. It’s an early start, but this is more important than a Sunday sleep-in.
Melville Summer Music Series Present Romeo Walker (Ben Witt) & Heathcote Blue at Kadidjiny Park
After a dreamy five-month run, this is your second-last chance to catch City of Melville’s Melville Summer Music Series at golden hour. Turning some of the area’s prettiest parks into open-air stages, this Sunday’s takeover will see Romeo Walker bring his smooth, genre-defying sounds to Kadidjiny Park, alongside harmonies and heartfelt folk of Heathcote Blue. Pack a picnic rug, round up your mates and settle in for one seriously easy evening under the trees.
Five Years Loud at Pirate Life Perth
Half a decade of beers, bistro dining and brewery tours at Pirate Life deserves a full-tilt celebration, and the Murray Street brewpub is delivering exactly that. The 5th birthday shenanigans kick off at 11am, with an acoustic set from Reuben De Melo at 3pm easing you into the afternoon before DJ Stylz jumps behind the decks. From 8.30pm, DJ Steffi joins forces with COCCO on live percussion for a house-fuelled finale built to keep you there ‘til late. Between sets, expect a tight line-up of birthday beers brewed especially for the milestone.
Pathway Boxing at PCEC
Gloves up, Perth! Pathway Boxing is storming back into the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre with a stacked card of elite amateurs and up to 10 pro bouts, spotlighting rising local talent alongside interstate and international fighters. Dress sharp, pick a side and settle in ringside for a night of high-energy, high-stakes fights from first bell to final round.
Honky Tonk Heroes at Coventry Pavilion
Saddle up, because Coventry Pavilion is swinging the saloon doors wide open for a boot-scootin’ night of country bangers by the Honky Tonk Heroes. From Alan Jackson and Brooks & Dunn to George Strait and Luke Combs, it’s hit after hit from 7pm, primed for two-steppin’, toe-tappin’ and a little tasteful yeehaw-ing. Cowboy boots highly encouraged.
What's On Sunday 1 March:
IWD Rise & Grind at General Public Co. Marmion
Missed out on the Scarborough Rise & Grind event? Don’t sweat it—Marmion’s got your back (and your abs). General Public Co.’s Marmion hot spot is hosting the same morning of yoga, connection and conversation on the Sunday. Flow, sip, munch and mingle while supporting Luma, and make your Sunday sunrise a little stronger, brighter and more purposeful.
All Weekend:
Punching For A Cure at Rumble Boxing Subiaco
Punching For A Cure is back at Rumble Boxing, and it’s time to turn sweat into serious impact. Over two days, hundreds of participants will be punching non-stop in two-hour blocks, chasing one million blows to tackle childhood cancer. Keen to join Olympic boxer Yusuf Chothia, former Wallaby Nic White, and PCHF mascot Stitches the Bear in the mix, the challenge? It’s not too late. Rally your team, register below and help deliver hope where it’s needed most.
Coogee Live
Coogee Live is back on the beach, turning the weekend into a non-stop sandy spectacle. From 10am, Coogee Beach Reserve will transform into a festival playground for all ages with DJ sets from The Presents and Paul Mac, roaring dinosaurs, bubble chaos, epic eats by some of Perth’s top chefs, and a whole lot more family-friendly fun. Cruise on down from 10am and soak up the sun, tunes and adventure before it’s all over for another year.
Perth Queer Film Festival
Perth Queer Film Festival hits double digits this weekend, bringing glitter, guts and queen genius to screens across the city for 10 days.

Anastasia the Broadway Musical Opening Weekend at Crown Theatre
Step into a whirlwind of romance, intrigue, and pure Broadway sparkle as Anastasia makes its Australian debut in Perth in 2026. Follow daring orphan Anya and smooth-talking conman Dimitri as they chase secrets, uncover hidden pasts, and flirt with destiny—all against a backdrop of glittering Imperial Russia and 1920s Paris, set to a jaw-dropping, beltable score that’ll have you singing along before intermission. Landing at Crown Theatre this weekend, book now to experience the magic firsthand.
Golden Miniraves at The Court
Think weekends with kids are strictly playgrounds, colouring books and cooking fails? Think again. Miniraves is the daytime party for both parents and young pups that takes everything you loved about the golden age of raving and cranks it down to kid-friendly levels. From 11am, there’ll be balloon drops, confetti bursts, giant inflatables, DJ sets, live dancers, immersive games, bubble machines and more, with no fake IDs required for those underage and no hangovers for the adults partying hard.
Toddlerfest at Scitech
If your smallest scientist has a brain that’s bigger than their body, beam them up to Scitech this month for Toddlerfest and let chaos, curiosity and creativity run wild. Happening every day of the week ‘til March 8, kids can build forts, squish slime, guide baby turtles to the sea, and blast off on a mini solar system adventure. Best bit of parents picking up the tab? Kids under 2 get in free. Not sure what the scientific term for a steal is, but this one’s it.
Coming Up...
Taste Great Southern 2026
Buckle up, food lovers, this is not your average food and wine festival. Set against the region’s breathtaking coastlines, ancient forests and rolling vineyards, Taste Great Southern 2026 is just around the corner, bringing a buffet of bold flavours, world-class wines and intimate chef collabs to the table. All that’s left to do is prepare for a tastebud-tingling getaway.
Think high-end canapés paired with sparkling and sweeping Southern Ocean views, guided hikes through the Porongurup Range followed by a gourmet lunch, or a self-paced hop-on, hop-off wine adventure through Denmark’s iconic vineyards. However you design it, this is a choose-your-own culinary escape that rewards curiosity and appetite in equal measure, and you're going to want in.
