This year Freo Builds discovered FANTASY FREMANTLE brought to life in LEGO®! Kids followed the trail around Fremantle to find seven fantastical Freo Builds based on designs from local school kids.
With almost 15,000 visitors descending into Fremantle over 7 days, we had an absolute blast and hope you did too!

Congratulations to Orla from Hilton Primary School who’s reimagining of Freo’s iconic Containbow as a fairy apartment block won with the most votes!

Movie night – Back to the Future!

Great Scott! We had an awesome evening jumping back in time to 1985 with our Town Hall movie night screening of Back to the Future! Held by our Community Development team. Tickets were $5 and included a dinner of Pizza or Pasta. This night was one to remember! Funmantle – January School Holidays
