ART IN THE PARK - Last Sunday of each month
Scheduled on the last Sunday of every month, Art in the Park features displays, demonstrations and sales of wonderful artworks by some of WA's finest artists in various media.
It is with some sadness that the decision to move the event from Araluen had to be made. This award-winning festival has grown to now rank as one of Western Australia's major cultural events. The success of this event has seen it out grow Araluen as a venue and we see the move to Fremantle as very positive and exciting.
The event management team at Araluen will continue to plan and manage this event the only difference being the venue. It will be staged at the Esplanade, Fremantle on the weekend 13/14 March 2010.
This event is a celebration of the unique culinary and cultural aspects of Chillies. It features a diverse range of stallholders, entertainment and cooking demonstrations by our celebrity chef.
The Festival is a celebration of everything Chilli from fresh foods,plants, pikles, chutneys, olives, cheese, chocolate, wine, beers and much, much more. Live music will add to the wonderful carnival atmosphere. Come and join in the celebrations on Saturday 13 12noon to 8pm and Sunday 14 10am to 5pm March 2010

Volunteers are an integral part of Araluen. We are indeed fortunate to have a great team of talented and dedicated volunteers who perform many valuable services in the Park.
Gardening Join this dedicated group we call the 'Wednesday Wonders'. They meet each Wednesday to garden, talk and enjoy a great morning tea.
The Roundhouse Gift Shop During 'Its Yates Springtime at Araluen' (August/September) the Roundhouse Gift Shop is open seven days a week and our great team of volunteers step in on a roster system to look after the needs of the many Park visitors.
This friendly face of the Park not only helps visitors with purchasing items from our extensive range of local crafts and homewares but also becomes an information centre for local and overseas people.
The Roundhouse Gift Shop is a valuable asset to the Park both financially and importantly as an information centre and volunteers play a major role in its success.
