Our History
The Eisteddfod dates back to origins in 1958 with the inaugural Bunbury Music Festival, the precursor to
today’s colossal event. It has been held at various well-known venues, beginning at the Railway Institute
before moving to the Paisley Centre and then the Little Theatre.
In 1991, the Eisteddfod took its name change to the WA Performing Arts Eisteddfod inc. the City of Bunbury Eisteddfod and moved to the Bunbury Regional Entertainment Centre, further enhancing its continual growth and establishing its place as the prestigious, largest performing arts Eisteddfod in WA. Following this success, it also underwent an image change in 2007 with the introduction of a new, statewide logo. Now, coming up to its Golden 50th Anniversary, the Eisteddfod is set to make its place in WA history.
