Telethon Weekend returns to Perth, bringing entertainment, fundraising and community celebrations to RAC Arena and the surrounding city precinct.
The Telethon Family Festival is taking over Wellington Street on Sunday 18 October, as part of Telethon Weekend at RAC Arena.
To support the event, a number of roads around the City Campus precinct will be closed from 11.30 pm on Saturday 17 October until 11.59 pm on Sunday 18 October, including sections of Wellington, Milligan and Maaman streets and Telethon Avenue.
If you’re travelling to campus or through the city that weekend, allow some extra time and consider using public transport to avoid delays. Free public transport will be available for people travelling into the city on Sunday, and selected City of Perth car parks will also offer two hours of free parking.

The Telethon Family Festival is free to attend and will run along Wellington Street from 10.00 am to 4.00 pm on Sunday 18 October, with family-friendly entertainment and activities throughout the day.
