What a fabulous day trick or treating in downtown Perth 🎃

Thank you to Children for coordinating, and to all of the businesses taking part and making Perth such vibrant community 👻

Small businesses are the heart of Perth!

What makes Perth so special? It's more than our beautiful heritage buildings, picturesque parks and charming downtown. It's the people and businesses that bring our community to life.

It's the shop owners who carefully curate their shelves, the restaurants and cafés serving up memorable experiences, and the talented service providers who take pride in what they do. It's the friendly faces, personal touches and passion behind every small business that make Perth a place people love to visit, explore and call home.

This Small Business Week, we're celebrating the incredible entrepreneurs and hardworking teams who give Perth its unique character, create welcoming experiences for visitors and contribute so much to our community.

When you choose to shop, dine or book a service locally, you're supporting the people who make Perth, well, Perth!

To our small business community: thank you for everything you do. We're proud to showcase and celebrate all that you bring to our town. ❤️

Let's show our local businesses some love this week (and every week!). Tag a favourite Perth business in the comments and tell us what makes it special!

With colourful leaves, crisp autumn air and plenty happening around town, it’s a beautiful weekend to explore Perth. Here’s our recipe for a perfect fall day:

Start with something warm
Grab a coffee, tea or other cozy beverage from one of Perth’s local cafés and take it along for your morning wander.

Visit the Perth Farmers’ Market
Saturday is the last regular market of the season, so stop by the Crystal Palace to stock up on local produce, baked goods and handmade finds.

Take a walk along the Tay
Stretch your legs with a stroll along the Tay River and through Stewart Park. The fall colours are putting on a pretty spectacular show right now!

Hit the road for the Perth Autumn Studio Tour
Spend Saturday or Sunday exploring studios throughout the area, meeting local artists and makers, and discovering one-of-a-kind works along the way.

Bonus points for shopping and dining local!
Leave some time to browse Perth’s downtown shops, then settle in for lunch, dinner or a sweet treat at one of our local restaurants and cafés.

Come for the fall colours, stay for the food, art, shopping and small-town charm.

Happy Thanksgiving weekend from Perth!
