A day for all Western Australians to celebrate
In April 2012, Foundation Day was formally changed to WA Day following bipartisan political support in Parliament. This heralded a new era in which WA Day was acknowledged as a celebration of all Western Australians, recognising our Aboriginal history, early European settlers and the many people from around the world who have made, and continue to make Western Australia their home.
Occurring on the first Monday in June, the WA Day holiday is a focal point for encouraging state-wide participation in the events and activities that showcase the Western Australian spirit and our many achievements.
Celebrate WA is a not-for-profit organisation responsible for promoting and organising the annual WA Day celebrations, recognising excellence in all fields of endeavour, and encouraging pride in all things Western Australian.
