About Melville Midwinter
Melville Midwinter is a free, family-friendly night of intimate performances that pays tribute to the change of seasons and the winter solstice when the gorgeous surrounds of Dyoondalup Point Walter Reserve become a stage for artists and performers. Bask in the magic and mystery of winter with an intimate, unique and thought-provoking community arts celebration.
Melville Midwinter returns in June 2026.
Thanks to major supporter Lotterywest for a grant contribution to Melville Midwinter that helps us build community connections through arts and culture activities.
