“I’m pleased the Town and presenting partner BHP are bringing North West Festival back this August, staging an all WA line up for locals to enjoy in the Civic Centre Gardens.
“This event is made possible thanks to the Town and BHP’s Community Events Partnership worth $1.23 million, securing a diverse roster of events for the Hedland community to enjoy from 2019 through to 2022.
“We’re staging the same acts on the Saturday and Sunday, giving all ticket purchasers on either day the opportunity to experience the performances.
“With the easing of state wide COVID-19 restrictions on public gatherings, the event will be delivered on a smaller scale and will be a seated event. Despite this, we’ll be putting on a world class performance for the whole family to enjoy!”
