Back by popular demand, Honky Tonk Friday returns to kick off the weekend in true country style. From 6pm, head to Perth City Farm for an evening of bootscootin’, live music and plenty of good times.

Honky Tonk How-To
Get your dancing boots ready! Join expert instructors from Outdance and The Urban Cowboy, alongside drag stars BarbieQ and Delvira Midnight in The Grand Scarlet Saloon, as they guide you through a range of line dancing and boot-scootin’ favourites. Whether you're a seasoned dancer or stepping onto the dance floor for the first time, everyone is welcome.

Honky Tonk Live
From 8pm, The Monty Cotton Band takes the stage in the Main Barn with their unique blend of country music and postmodern flair.

Supporting music will be from Kyle X Dessent and DJ Lima.

Barn Dance Perth  

Saturday 29 August 2026

Now in its eighth year, the annual Barn Dance Perth extravaganza has become a much-loved community favourite. Featuring the legendary Mucky Duck Bush Band, this lively celebration brings together country music, dancing, drag, costumes, food, plenty of community spirit and a whole lot more.

No need to worry if you've forgotten the moves to Heel and Toe or Strip the Willow since your school dance days—the Mucky Duck Bush Band will guide you every step of the way. And when you're ready to take a breather from swinging your partner and clicking the shears, there'll be plenty of space to relax, grab a bite to eat, enjoy a drink, and have a yarn with friends old and new.

Show us your Wild West style - with prizes for the most bodacious! Whether you're coming for the dancing, the company, the entertainment, the fine outfits or the great atmosphere, Barn Dance has something for everyone.
