Yo-Chi Is Turning Its Froyo Stores Into School Holiday Fun Houses
What do you get when you combine frozen yoghurt, karaoke and beer pong without the beer? A sentence we didn't expect to be writing, for starters.

There’s Chi-Pong, putting a froyo spin on beer pong, where every Yo-Chi purchase earns a shot at discounts and mystery prizes; Karao-Chi, where brave solo singers can score a free Yo-Chi while duets get 50 per cent off; plus limited-edition toppings including fairy bread slice, SnackaChangi vinegar and salt chips and FUNDAY Yo-Chi Bear sweets.
The fun culminates in a one-night-only House Party right here in Perth, with DJs and $1,000 prizes for the Chi-Pong and Karao-Chi champions. No bookings are required, so warm up those vocal chords and get down to your local Yo-Chi.

Rather than sticking to one stage, jazz moves through the whole precinct, so you might sit down for dinner and stumble onto a trio you've never heard, follow a brass band through the crowd, or end up dancing to saxophone and house music well after dark.
Expect performances across The Bridge, Print Hall, Small Print, Bobèche, The Heritage Wine Bar, Bob's Bar and Lupe's Cervecería, bringing together some of WA's finest emerging and established jazz talent. The evening opens with WAAPA's jazz ensembles and the roaming Chameleon Brass Band, builds through a run of intimate trios and duos, and rolls into the night with the William Chiew Quintet and award-winning singer-songwriter Shameem, before Bob's Bar and Lupe's Cervecería take things late with improvised electric jazz and a saxophone-meets-deep-house set to close it out.
