WE’RE CELEBRATING YOUNG PEOPLE FOR THE WHOLE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER! BRIMBANK YOUTH FEST IS A CELEBRATION OF YOUNG PEOPLE AGED 10 TO 25.

Throughout September, a variety of events and activities will be organised all across the state, giving young Victorians a chance to express their ideas and views and act on issues that affect their lives. Victorian Youth Fest is a lot of fun and a time to celebrate the many positive contributions that young people make to their communities – including our own.

In Brimbank, we’ve put together an awesome line-up of events that recognise, celebrate and support the unique and inspiring young people in our local community.

All events and activities are open to all young people aged 10 to 25 unless otherwise specified.
