Australasia’s biggest basketball festival is back, and so is its iconic Fan Zone.

As part of HoopsFest Perth, the Fan Zone will return in partnership with the City of Perth, transforming Forrest Place into a vibrant basketball hub from January 15–18, right in the heart of the CBD.

A true hoop lover’s playground, the Fan Zone blends basketball culture, live entertainment and community in a fun, inclusive and family-friendly environment throughout Perth’s summer holidays.

Across four action-packed days, the precinct will come alive with DJs, food trucks, giveaways, merchandise, sponsor activations and interactive activities, creating a welcoming festival space for locals, visitors, families and city workers alike.

Fans will also have the chance to meet NBL and WNBL players, with club appearances taking place each day.
