Tidal Treasures
21st August to 6th September
Annually, the anticipation builds as Broome gears up for the excitement and festivities of the Shinju Matsuri Float Parade.
Whether you actively participate or eagerly spectate, if you're in Broome, you're part of the excitement! A cornerstone of the Shinju Matsuri calendar, the Float Parade showcases the vibrant diversity of the Broome community. The parade revolves around the theme - Tidal Treasures -
“TIDAL TREASURES” reflects the power and energy of Broome’s remarkable tides — among the largest in the world — and the many gifts they bring to our shores.
From the pearling history that helped shape the town, to the natural beauty and experiences locals and visitors enjoy today, the tides continue to play an important role in Broome’s story."
Floats will be evaluated based on their unique interpretations of this theme, making it a delightful and engaging experience for both participants and onlookers alike.
