Avoid parking hassles by taking advantage of a free shuttle bus to the City of Gosnells Fusion Food and Culture Festival this month and be in with a chance to win a $500 gift card from Maddington Central shopping centre.

With close to 40,000 people expected to attend Fusion Festival at Mills Park in Beckenham from 4pm to 9pm on Friday 8 and Saturday 9 November, parking will be extremely limited.

The free shuttle bus runs between Maddington Central and Mills Park throughout the event. “The shuttle bus is a convenient and easy way to get to and from the Fusion Food and Culture Festival, which is an event not to be missed,” Mayor Terresa Lynes said. 

“We want to encourage visitors to Fusion to be mindful of nearby residents and the many pedestrians as they enter and leave the event.” 

Over the two nights, the festival will feature a captivating mix of live performances on the main Fusion Stage and the Great Beginnings Viva Stage as well as roving entertainment, a Global Village filled with stallholders from a variety of cultural backgrounds, subsidised carnival rides, youth and children’s activities and food trucks serving cuisine from a wide range of countries and cultures. 

Among the highlights at Fusion this year will be a giant winged humanoid puppet known as The Messenger, making its first visit to Western Australia. Towering over 5m tall, the futuristic archangel-style puppet will be illuminated by LED lighting and brought to life by eight talented performers and puppeteers.

Fusion Food and Culture Festival is a City of Gosnells event sponsored by Lotterywest, Great Beginnings and Maddington Central shopping centre.
