The Beaufort Street Festival is an annual community street festival in Perth, Western Australia that takes place each November along Beaufort Street and nearby streets. The festival is owned by the Beaufort Street Network and, since 2012, presented and delivered by festival directors JumpClimb Events. It runs through the suburbs of Highgate and Mount Lawley.
The event started in 2010, and consists of various music, family, food, fashion and art programs. In 2014, over 150,000 people attended the festival, making it one of Perth's largest street festivals.
In 2016 organisers from the Beaufort Street Network announced the festival would "take a break" for now and they'd instead focus on a number of smaller events throughout the year rather than one big bash.
