Yagan Square is a vibrant cultural hub in the heart of the city, offering a diverse range of free events and activities for families, music enthusiasts, and those interested in cultural experiences. The Market Hall reinvigoration project is set to transform the area into a dynamic destination with new hospitality offerings. Collaborating with Whadjuk and Noongar artists, Yagan Square celebrates its historical significance as a meeting place for the Whadjuk women, incorporating a strong Aboriginal narrative that reflects the stories and traditions of the traditional owners of the land.
