The Boorloo Bridge, connecting Victoria Park with Heirisson Island and Point Fraser in the Perth CBD, will open to the public on Sunday, 22 December with a free twilight community event being held from 5pm on McCallum Park next to the bridge.

The family-friendly event will include a wide range of activities for all ages, including live music, entertainers, market stalls, face painting, a petting zoo, and kids’ Christmas activities.

A range of food trucks and a free sausage sizzle will also be on offer with special guest Santa and his elves dropping by to see the new bridge.As the sun goes down, find a nice spot on the foreshore to sit back, relax and watch the fireworks and bridge lighting display.

Over 17,000 LED lights will transform the bridge into a digital canvas with colours, imagery and messages which will illuminate this new landmark in a way never seen before in Perth.
