Stretch Festival

Mandurah’s annual arts and cultural festival Stretch is an eclectic mix of performances, workshops, exhibitions, installations and experiences held in many venues indoors and out around the city. Held every first weekend in May, the festival celebrates all that is good about living in Mandurah. It’s an opportunity for the community to fire up their imaginations, flex their fingers stretch their vocal chords and tap their toes.
 

It’s a time to share stories, ideas and feelings through art. The program is woven together by established and emerging artists who use their creative energies and intellects to dazzle, intrigue, engage, guide and inspire. We love it! We hope you do too!
Stretch – connecting our community through arts & culture.
