Mandurah’s annual arts and cultural festival Stretch is an eclectic mix of performances, workshops, exhibitions, installations and experiences held in many venues indoors and out around the city.  Held every first weekend in May, the festival celebrates all that is good about living in Mandurah.  It’s an opportunity for the community to stretch their imaginations, roll up their sleeves, stretch their vocal chords and limber up their limbs.

It’s a time to share stories, ideas and feelings through art.   The program is woven together by established and emerging artists who use their creative energies and intellects to dazzle, intrigue, engage, guide and inspire.  We love it!  We hope you do too!

Stretch – connecting our community through arts & culture.

Bring the kids, bring the blanket and head to Festival Square : presented by Act-Belong-Commit (next to the Mandurah Performing Arts Centre) and soak up the sound, colour and vibe of live music and entertainment over the festival weekend.   Take a seat at one of the free workshops, check out the exhibitions and films in the performing arts centre, grab an eyeful of the amazing installations on the foreshore.

If history tickles your fancy – visit Christ’s Church, Sholl Street – taking part in the festival for the first time this year, then cross the road to the Mandurah Community Museum.   Learn about Yagurburt George Winjan, Thomas Peel and the poisoned chalice!  And tell the friends and reli’s in Perth to hop on the train to Mandurah, catch the free Foreshore Express and meet you by the Rotunda so can stretch together!
