Water Dragons at Hillarys Boat Harbour

Looking for a unique and enchanting evening out? The Water Dragons performance at the Joondalup Festival is an unforgettable experience that combines storytelling, theatre, and adventure. This free event, held at Hillarys Boat Harbour, invites audiences of all ages to immerse themselves in a magical world of glowing sea dragon eggs and captivating puppetry.

What to Expect

Created by A Blanck Canvas, renowned for their large-scale puppetry, Water Dragons is an interactive performance where the audience becomes part of the story. The adventure begins when a fishing crew discovers glowing sea dragon eggs on the verge of hatching. Unsure of what to do, they turn to the audience for help. Should the eggs be hidden, protected, or returned to the sea dragons? The decision is yours.

As the story unfolds, you’ll witness the majestic sea dragons gliding through the water under the night sky—a truly mesmerizing sight.

Tips for Enjoying the Event

To make the most of your evening, consider these tips:

Arrive early to secure a good spot on the sand and enjoy the pre-show atmosphere.
Bring a picnic rug and sit near the front for the best view, but avoid the shoreline unless you’re prepared for a splash.

Layer up to stay warm as the sea breeze can get chilly after sunset.
For a quieter experience, attend on Wednesday or Thursday nights.
