Youth week 2025
Youth Week is a national celebration held in April each year organised by young people for young people aged 12 to 24. NSW Youth Week 2025 is taking place from 9 to 17 April.
Youth Week is an opportunity for young people to express ideas and views, showcase talents and create and participate in diverse activities.
Waverley’s 2025 Youth Week program is currently in development. Some of the highlights include:
At ‘Beach Bash ’25’ young, local emerging bands and DJs will gather at the Bondi Pavilion for a night of high energy music and fun. Echoing this year’s Youth Week theme ‘We are the future, the future is now’, the night will be packed with fresh tunes, food, refreshments and DJ sets between bands at this drug and alcohol-free event.
The following bands will be playing: Cross Pollinate, Lucid Dream, Gloss, The Tide, Baby Fever, The Mackenzies and Broken Jaw. DJs to be announced!
Date: Saturday, 12 April
Time: 5:30pm–10pm
Location: High Tide Room, Guya Courtyard (Chill Zone), Bondi Pavilion
Cost: Free. Get tickets here.
At the Rising Maker’s Market, young local artisans, designers, makers and entrepreneurs can sell and promote their handmade arts, crafts, jewellery and other small business ideas.
Date: Saturday, 12 April 2025
Location: The Boot Factory, 27-33 Spring St, Bondi Junction
