Join us as we celebrate Fremantle’s rich maritime heritage during the 77th Blessing of the Fleet Festival.

Step back in time with a pop-up digital photo display showcasing rare and evocative historical images of the Fremantle Fishing Boat Harbour, past Blessing of the Fleet parades, and the proud participants who have shaped this beloved tradition. From vibrant processions to quiet moments on the docks, these photographs capture the spirit, culture, and community that have defined Fremantle’s fishing legacy for generations.

Explore rare photographs capturing the spirit of Fremantle’s fishing communities. Drop in before or after the parade.
