Feature Event: A Month of Hiking Festival

1–31 October 2026 | Esperance

Step into spring and discover more of Esperance on foot during the Month of Hiking Festival, a month-long celebration of walking, adventure and the great outdoors.

This festival brings the community together to explore the region’s incredible trails, get active and connect with nature. Building on the momentum of the GROUNDED Esperance Hiking Festival, the Month of Hiking extends the adventure across the entire month, giving locals and visitors more opportunities to get out and explore.

Whether you’re an experienced hiker or taking your first steps on the trails, everyone is invited to take part. Join the month-long challenge, set your own goals and help the Esperance community collectively clock up an epic distance – with challenges such as hiking the equivalent of a lap around Australia.

Use the Pacer app to find trail inspiration, track your progress and discover new places to explore. From short local walks to longer adventures, there’s a trail and a challenge for every age and ability.

Your next adventure starts here. Lace up, get outside and explore Esperance this October.

Supported by Spring into Parks, a WA Parks Foundation initiative, and Lotterywest.
