WA Day isn’t just a day off—it’s a chance to celebrate everything (and everyone) that makes this State great.
And for us, that means food. It means wine. It means long lunches, noisy kitchens and slow afternoons in your neighbourhood spot. This WA Day long weekend, we’re encouraging you to support the venues that shape WA’s culture. Whether it’s booking the locals you love or discovering a new regional gem, showing up matters and keeps WA’s hospitality culture thriving.
