Rugby World Cup Fan Festival

The Rugby World Cup Fan Festival is a significant public event scheduled to begin in Perth, Australia, on October 1, 2027. Designed to complement the Men's Rugby World Cup, this free festival is proposed to run for at least 19 days, extending the tournament experience beyond the stadium and showcasing Perth as a vibrant host city. The main hub for the festival is planned to be Supreme Court Gardens in the Perth CBD.

This city-wide celebration is expected to feature a live stage, large screens for match viewing, music, and various entertainment options. Attendees will also find a selection of food and beverages available. The event aims to draw thousands of fans into the city, creating an engaging atmosphere for both local and international visitors.

Further plans for the festival include a "Last Mile" activation, designed to guide fans from key public transport hubs like Perth Station and Elizabeth Quay to the main festival site. There is also potential for the establishment of "Union Houses" as dedicated fan hubs for visiting nations, alongside a merchandise and ticketing superstore located in Forrest Place. These initiatives are intended to enhance the visitor experience and stimulate economic activity across Perth's city centre.
