Since inception Balmy Nights has grown steadily to become a fully-fledged music and arts festival. Evolving from a live music focussed outing into a celebration of the multiple artistic mediums delivered at The Cannery Arts Centre. Supporting events have been created held in Esperance and Hopetoun, to invite the wider community to experience elements of our primary event.

Our 2024 line-up is exceptional featuring Perth based acts Legs Electric, Luci and Sunny Flowers. WA regional act Tanya Ransom and Esperance artists RORK, Big Heart Adventure and Laura Petrie.

Balmy Nights challenges the perception of an Arts Centre event, fusing live music with all The Cannery has to offer. In 2024 the Cannery is set to host the Esperance Art Awards with the exhibition launch set for Thursday Nov 21st, Main Gallery open to view across our primary event Saturday Nov 23rd. Pottery Studio, Print Room, Courtyard and Music Centre are all marked to be activated in new and exciting ways.

Balmy Nights is brought to you by Kyza Presents and The Cannery Arts Centre. Supported by The Esperance Ag Fund and the Fremantle Foundation.
