WA Day celebrations at the WAFLWednesday, May 31, 2017 - 5:05 PM

Four massive WAFL clashes are set take place over the WA Day long weekend with a range of fun activities and events planned for all fans at each game, as part of the WA Day celebrations.

WA Day is about celebrating everything WA; the spirit, culture and heritage of our great state. The rich history of football in the WA community stretches back to 1885 and today it is the most popular sporting code in the state with more than 287,000 active participants.

Running races, kicking competitions, raffles, food trucks, and bouncy castles are some of the many activities taking place at WAFL games this WA Day long-weekend.

Footy fever kicks off on Saturday when Peel Thunder host reigning premiers Subiaco in a Grand Final rematch at Bendigo Bank Stadium, while Perth take on Swan Districts at Lathlain Park. The WA Day Public Holiday makes way for two blockbuster derbies; East Fremantle take on South Fremantle at East Fremantle Oval and East Perth clash with West Perth at Leederville Oval.
