Fremantle Design Week 2026
The third biennial Fremantle Design Week brings more than 60 exhibitions, talks, tours and workshops to Fremantle in Western Australia
Location: Fremantle, Perth
Date: 16 October 2026 to 25 October 2026
Fremantle Design Week 2026 runs from 16 to 25 October 2026 in Fremantle, Western Australia. This is the third edition of the biennial festival, which brings more than 60 exhibitions, talks, tours, workshops and special events to the port city.
The 2026 theme is Imagine, with a focus on seeking out joy and creativity. Programme highlights include design advocate Izzie White on understanding architecture for non-architects, State Government Architect Emma Williamson and Jennie Officer on the WA Pattern Book Housing initiative, Jimmy Thompson, Steph McGann and Liam Wallis on how and why to choose an apartment, and a studio open house with Whispering Smith on gentle density.
With housing and density high on the agenda in Western Australia, the programme gives local architects a chance to engage with the public and with policy makers on how the city grows. Pricing varies by event, with details on the Fremantle Design Week website.
