The Victorian Government is proud to be funding more events that connect and celebrate young people in their communities.
We are thrilled to announce that Youth Fest is returning for 2026. This year, 111 exciting youth-led events will take place thanks to nearly $220,000 in funding.
Events will be designed and delivered with and for young people, showcasing their interests and talents.
Youth Fest will be happening across Victoria throughout September. From music and fashion to art and sport, there will be something for everyone!
Young people’s ideas and perspectives matter. Youth Fest is an important way we’re supporting them to participate and lead, championing their unique voices and creativity.
We look forward to joining the celebration this September.
