There’s something special about living in Perth’s northern suburbs. It’s not just the homes and the coastline, it’s the community.

Local events are where neighbours become friends, where families connect, and where we’re reminded just how lucky we are to live in such a vibrant part of the world.

This month, there’s plenty happening close to home, from art shows and school discos to live music, night markets and iconic community traditions. Each event is a chance to support local businesses, enjoy time with loved ones, and be part of the heartbeat of our suburbs.

Our local Property Partners have rounded up their favourite events across Hillarys, Sorrento, Carine, Karrinyup, Currambine, Iluka, Ocean Reef, Mullaloo, Kallaroo, Burns Beach, Duncraig, Alkimos and Jindalee so you can make the most of your month in the community.

Run by the Rotary Club of Scarborough, the Karrinyup SwapMart is one of Perth’s longest-running community markets. Held every Sunday morning, it brings together locals looking to recycle, repurpose, and discover hidden treasures all while supporting local Rotary projects. From vintage homewares to plants and collectibles, every visit feels like a new adventure.

Local Tip from Shirley Heslip: “Karrinyup SwapMart is a weekend ritual for many locals. It’s perfect if you love a good bargain, want to declutter sustainably, or simply enjoy the buzz of a real community market. Arrive early to get the best finds before the crowds arrive, then treat yourself to a coffee from the shopping centre cafés nearby.”
