Here are five of those heating up our hearts.
Lightscape
Kings Park and Botanic Gardens, Wednesday to Sunday until July 30
Set to change your view of winter in Perth, Lightscape is using the gorgeous gardens of Kings Park as its canvas for an immersive journey through a wonderland of colourfully illuminated tree canopies, larger-than-life flowers and glowing tunnels.
