Who doesn't love fireworks?! The Crab Fest fireworks are an absolute crowd favourite!

Bring the camera and your loudest ‘oooohs and aaaahs’ to enjoy a spectacular fireworks show that will light up the Mandurah skies over our beautiful waterways on Saturday evening from 8.30pm. The best place to watch the fireworks is from Stingray point (under the iconic fig tree), along the boardwalk in front of The Pen and on the Eastern Foreshore. 

After the fireworks head to one of local restaurants or bars for a night cap before we kick it all off for another fun-filled day on Sunday.
