Greater Shepparton Youth Fest 2024 is in full swing and Greater Shepparton City Council encourages the community take part in the exciting line-up of events planned for the month of September.
Formerly known as Victorian Youth Week, this year’s Festival has been revamped into a month-long celebration of youth-focused and youth-led activities. The Festival is targeted at individuals aged 12 to 25 years.
The month-long Festival is supported by a host of partners, including the Greater Shepparton Youth Organisations Network, GV Libraries, Freeza, the State Government and various Council Departments.
Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor, Cr Shane Sali, highlighted the Festival's role in supporting young people in our region and encouraged the community to get involved and take advantage of the exciting events still to come.
Among the upcoming highlights is a Council-led event on Sunday 29 September 2024 at the Shepparton Skate Park. This event will feature a BMX, skate, and scoot competition, as well as a First Nations art workshop where participants can paint skateboard decks and express their creativity.
