MOUNT HAWTHORN will have its own streets and laneways festival, following the runaway success of similar events in Beaufort and Angove Streets.

Community organisation Mt Hawthorn Hub and Vincent city council are planning for about 20,000 to come down for the inaugural event on May 3. They’ve mapped out terrain from the Cabin to Axford Park and are snaking out into the alleyways like Anvil Lane, Fairway Street and the Mezz.

While Beaufort Street has trended towards a music festival, up in Mount Hawthorn they’re going for a bit of a village fayre feel with traders rolling out into the streets and laneways.
