Perth’s quirkiest Irish festival returns — Johnny Fox’s Spud Fest is back! 

Perth’s favourite Irish pub, Johnny Fox’s, is bringing back one of its most beloved (and cheekiest) traditions — Spud Fest 2025 — on Saturday 1 November.

Now in its third year, Spud Fest celebrates Ireland’s most iconic staple — the humble potato — with a full day of Irish food, live music, family fun, and plenty of craic. Expect spud-inspired eats, outdoor bars, trad sessions, Irish dancing, games, and even the Best Dressed Tony Gallati Competition, where one lucky winner will score a year’s supply of curry chips!

“Spud Fest started as a bit of fun, and it’s grown into one of our most loved traditions,” says Paul Moloney, Managing Director at Johnny Fox’s. “There’s no better way to bring people together than with a pint, live music, and the humble potato.”
