Nannup is a town and
shire in the South West region of Western Australia, approximately 280
kilometres (174 mi) south of Perth on the Blackwood River at the
crossroads of Vasse Highway and Brockman Highway, which links Nannup to
most of the Lower South West's regional centres.
Since the beginnings of the tourist industry in Nannup there have been
several events and festivals held to promote the town. These include
the week-long Flower and Garden Festival held in August each year and
the weekend Rose Festival in November. The largest of Nannup's annual
festivals is the Nannup Music Festival (formerly the Southwest Folk
Festival) held over the Labour Day long weekend in March each year and
includes street performance and market stalls as well as a variety of
musical performances.
