We missed , and - but ate and drank the bar dry in your honour.

See you next year on the deck 🥂

Wow - what a night! On Saturday, it felt like WA’s entire tourism cohort had turned up in their glad rags for the biggest awards night of the year. Joining the City of Subiaco team to celebrate another brilliant year of activations, events and beautiful front covers inspired by Subi’s businesses and people, hopes were high that this would be their year.

So first off the ranks was a silver award for Excellence in Local Government Tourism before we all held our collective breath for the award for Festivals and Events. Up against some pretty big hitters (including last year’s winner Margaret River Region Open Studios), by the time the gold award was announced, the joy was palpable on our table.

Subi Blooms x Gather won - and what a deserved winner it really is.

Some facts: the 2025 festival attracted an amazing 37,000 visitors to Subiaco across Mother’s Day weekend and featured 15 large-scale floral installations alongside workshops, a month-long floral art installation, and community activities.

We dedicated our autumn magazine cover to one of the hundreds of images generated from this unique event, thought up by Laura Lewsey and her clever team.

As a Subi resident, I love the annual opportunity to peruse the displays before the masses arrive - and can’t think of another comparable event in Perth which creates such pleasure for all involved and the visitors who come in their droves over the weekend.

Congrats to you all and Galley Press couldn’t be prouder to be a small part of this blooming marvellous local success story.
