The day is Boxing Day, December 26th. The venue is Belvoir Ampitheatre. The city is Perth. That’s the way it’s been since the turn of the century, and that’s the way Breakfest will stay for as long as it remains.
Breakfest is a tradition in Australia’s dance music scene. A broken-beat boutique event held every Boxing Day, the festival Perth’s only locally produced and internationally acclaimed event. Breakfest never changes – it evolves – and the focus is always on the attendess themselves – or, as the festival refers to them as, ‘Breakfesters.’ The Breakfesters have responded in turn by not only packing out the Ampitheatre year after year, but also assisting in gaining the festival some major critical acclaim.
Breakfest won the Best Event gong at the Perth Dance Music Awards for a staggering seven years in a row, from 2003 to 2010. Here at inthemix, the festival also picked up Best Event awards – that is, the best dance event in all of Australia – in both 2006 and 2007. Perhaps the most telling accolade, however, came in 2009, when the festival was deemed the Best Value for Money at the Australian Festival Awards. That’s Breakfest in a nutshell – so say g’day to WA and dance your Christmas lunch away.
