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.
