Whittlesea’s September School Holiday Youth festival

The City of Whittlesea has released an exciting line-up of events for September as part of Victorian Youth Fest.

The month-long festival recognises and celebrates the achievements of young people, showcasing their vibrant and energetic role in our community.

City of Whittlesea is providing a range of activities and events for young people, giving them an opportunity to connect with peers, and take part in exciting new experiences.

Administrator, Peita Duncan said that there will be some great opportunities over the school holidays for young people to get involved in the many activities on offer in the City of Whittlesea.

“Our September School Holiday Program will complement the Victorian Youth Fest, inviting young people to dive into new adventures and experiences – where participation, engagement, and excitement take centre stage,” she said.

“From creative workshops, hiking City of Whittlesea’s nature reserves to exploring potential career paths, the School Holiday Program is a perfect blend of fun and education.”
