Youth week 2025

Youth Art Prize 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.

The following bands will be playing: Cross Pollinate, Lucid Dream, Gloss, The Tide, Baby Fever, The Mackenzies and Broken Jaw. DJs to be announced!
