Fremantle is set to become Western Australia’s truffle capital this July, as the Fremantle Truffle Festival returns for its biggest year yet. From 10 to 12 July, the Port City will come alive with truffle infused menus, chef experiences, market activations and gourmet events, showcasing one of the state’s most sought-after culinary treasures. Following a sell-out Truffle Extravaganza event in 2025, the 2026 iteration of the event will see restaurants, bars and venues across the heritage heart of the west embrace all things truffle. Participating venues will showcase special menus, limited edition dishes, cocktails and curated experiences highlighting the versatility of locally grown black truffles. Visitors are invited to experience Fremantle through a distinctly truffle-led lens, from truffle inspired dumplings at Emily Taylor to truffle infused cocktails at Anglesea and a seasonal truffle set menu at Little Creatures. Adding to the excitement, Fremantle Markets traders will be challenged to unleash their creativity in a truffle-inspired culinary showdown, crafting exclusive dishes available only during the festival. Visitors can embark on a flavour-filled journey through the Markets, discovering Eggspot’s indulgent Truffle Brioche Burger and a host of limited-edition creations crafted especially for the festival. Dog lovers won’t want to miss the festival’s adorable truffle dogs, with these highly trained canine detectives taking centre stage in a lively agility showcase. Combining speed, skill and an extraordinary sense of smell, the four-legged stars are sure to steal a few hearts as they bound, weave and sniff their way through the action. At the heart of the festival, the large-scale Truffle House marquee will be hosted adjacent to Fremantle Markets on Henderson Street, offering tastings, cooking demonstrations, artisan products and premium truffle goods from Great Southern Truffles. Visitors will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in all things truffle, with interactive experiences, prize giveaways and plenty of surprises throughout the festival weekend.
