Fremantle International Street Arts Festival (FISAF) has revealed its spectacular 2025 lineup set to transform the city's streets into a vibrant stage for global creativity over the Easter long weekend (18 April – 21 April 2025).

Celebrating its 25th anniversary, this year's festival will bring a fittingly exclusive fire-filled spectacle to Fremantle's streets, with the West Australian premiere of 'Amor' by France's Compagnie Bilbobasso.

'Amor' will headline FISAF's growing After Dark program of festivities with a wild pyrotechnic display that combines the passion of Argentinian tango with explosive theatrics, luring visitors to further explore the streets of Fremantle every evening.

Kicking off on Good Friday, the 25th anniversary of FISAF will feature a stellar roster of acts that push the boundaries of street theatre with a bundle of Western Australian first experiences.

A completely free family friendly experience throughout the Easter long weekend, street performers set to make their Australian premiere at this year's FISAF, include:

• Imagicario (Canada): Visitors can meet the otherworldly, playful and colourful puppets inspired by fictional biodiversity as they roam through Fremantle's streets on stilts over two metres high.
• Haribow (Japan): Hop, skip and jump to a musical showcase with this energetic double dutch group from Japan, who famously placed as finalists in Series 17 of Britain's Got Talent.
• Torpeza Rítmika (Argentina): Festivalgoers will have the chance to meet this self-taught clown and experience a rollercoaster of emotions as they journey through a poetic and surrealistic performance.

Boasting an expansive lineup of over 70 artists, international performances hero alongside home-grown Australian acts, with spellbinding Indigenous-led dreamtime acrobatic troupe Living Sculptures: How the Birds Got Their Colours returning to Western Australia for FISAF to perform against the backdrop of Fremantle's Esplanade Park.

Kicking off at 12pm on Good Friday, performances will be staged across eight iconic Fremantle venues, including the National Hotel, Fremantle Prison, FOMO Freo, Sail & Anchor and Esplanade Park, with roaming acts also set to surprise and delight festivalgoers throughout the day and night.

Festival Creative Producer Brendan Coleman said this year's lineup reaffirms the festival's commitment to showcasing both internationally renowned and emerging local talent.

“This year's lineup truly captures the essence of FISAF's transformative street arts experience, which we have proudly delivered to the public for the past 25 years. In particular, we are thrilled to welcome Amor by Compagnie Bilbobasso to this year's festival lineup, where audiences can entangle themselves in a captivating love story and argument, featuring explosions and dances with fire right here in Fremantle,” said Coleman.

FISAF's humble beginnings commenced in 1999, with the festival becoming a landmark event on the Western Australian calendar each year during the Easter long weekend.

The festival is now renowned globally as the largest street arts festival in Australasia, attracting thousands of eager-eyed festivalgoers in search of something unusual to experience on Fremantle's streets.
