Calendar of Events

Unfortunately, the Grandies Big Day Out Festival in Fremantle, which we’ve enjoyed being part of over the last few years, is no longer going ahead.
The good news is that we’ve been invited to take part in the rescheduled WA Day Festival at Fremantle Fishing Boat Harbour on Sunday 11 October instead.
Just to clarify the date, we know WA Day was back in June, but the WA Day Festival that was planned for June was postponed due to severe weather and has now been rescheduled to Sunday 11 October. Although the event is still being called the WA Day Festival, this is the rescheduled festival event date and is not WA Day itself or a long weekend.
Corvette Display
We won’t be in our usual location outside the Shipwrecks Museum as we have been in previous years. This time, our Corvettes will be displayed in the car park and Piazza area near Kailis at Fremantle Fishing Boat Harbour.
I’m meeting the event organiser on site next week and should have a better idea then of exactly how much space we’ll have and how many Corvettes we can accommodate. In the meantime, please register early as spaces will be limited.
As with the Grandies event, members who display their Corvette on the day will receive a voucher for lunch, funded by the Fremantle Traders Association.
Important Arrival & Departure Times
The festival itself runs from 11:00am to 7:00pm, but our display times are:
Entry to our designated area: From 10:00am
All cars must be in and set up by: 11:00am
Cars can leave: From 4:00pm
All display vehicles must arrive between 10:00am and 11:00am and remain in the display area until 4:00pm. These times are a requirement of the event organisers and their insurance, as well as an expectation of the Fremantle Traders Association, who are supporting the event and funding the lunch vouchers for members displaying their Corvettes. These times are not negotiable, so please make sure you can commit to them when registering.
With free parking for the day, make the most of it and enjoy the festival, explore Fremantle and take in the great weather we’re expecting!
What’s Happening
There will be live music, performances, family activities, traders and plenty of entertainment throughout the day, with even more happening than at the Grandies Big Day Out Festival in previous years.
It should be a fantastic day and a great opportunity to get plenty of Corvettes out on display in Fremantle.
Please register as soon as possible if you’d like to display your Corvette, as places will be limited.
