The wearable artworks are made by local international award winning artists, invited guests and emerging artists from around Australia. Tickets will be available from Broome Visitor Centre (including online sales) and at Chinatown Music, Broome (cash only) from late July. Seating is unreserved but sight lines to the stage are good.

Shinju Matsuri Festival

Shinju Matsuri Festival of the Pearl rekindles the excitement and romance of Broome’s early days as a world renowned producer of Pearls and Pearl shell. Japanese, Chinese, Malay, Koepangers, Pilipino and Europeans flocked to Broome from the late 1800s to be a part of this prosperity. This unique multicultural melting pot of pearl industry workers, including local Aborigines, contributed to the spirit and energy that is still present in the exotic town of Broome today. The local community has obligations to ensure that we correctly educate people to make certain that Broome’s unique and diverse identity is acknowledged and remembered through the generations and Shinju Matsuri has the power to do this. Shinju Matsuri will tempt your senses with an exciting whirlwind of colour, sound, taste and smell as the community share with the world this beautiful and historical “Town by the Bay.”
