Awesome Festival (in full Awesome International Arts Festival for Bright Young Things) is an arts event in Perth, Western Australia held annually since 1996. [2] The participation and interaction of younger visitors is encouraged by street theatre, interactive art, dance workshops, film screenings and musical performances. [4] The event was formerly organised and run by Awesome Arts, a not-for-profit company, [5] but in 2024 Barking Gecko Theatre and Awesome Arts merged into Barking Gecko Arts. [6]
