After Hours news
Last year we added the Crystal Palace and Perth Restaurant to our After Hours venues and received positive feedback so we will have the same venues this year. The price remains at $20 and you can still get into individual shows for $10.

We still need volunteers
If you would like to help out at the festival we would love to have you. You can find the schedule and sign up here

Remembering Wendy Laut
Stewart Park Festival lost one of its strongest supporters when Wendy Laut, long-time owner of Shadowfax and Deputy Mayor of Perth, passed away in February of this year.

One of the Stewart Park Festival's co-founders, Wendy assumed a variety of roles in a volunteer capacity with the festival over the years. Many performers of festivals past will no doubt remember her fondly for her hospitality and generosity as she provided lodging and meals to travel weary musicians from near and far on countless occasions. Her residence was a "home away from home" and a gathering place for lots of friends. We will be remembering Wendy this year and have named the former acoustic stage the Wendy Laut River Stage.

After Hours 2010
Time: 9:30 p.m. until late
Where: Crystal Palace, Stone Cellar, Mexicali Rosa's, O'Reilly's, Perth Restaurant
Enjoy 20 more Concerts for $20. Still the best late-night concert series anywhere!

A $20 After Hours button lets you travel freely to all After Hours shows all weekend. Buy your button in the park, or at the door of any After Hours venue. Just want to go to one show? No problem! We offer a $10 single entry fee at the door of any venue for that show only (the $10 cannot later be applied to an After Hours button). The Crystal Palace is the only all ages venue; all other venues are 19+.

After Hours shows start: Crystal Palace 8:00 p.m., all other venues 9:30 p.m..
