2025 Bendigo Sustainability Festival

Now a hallmark of Bendigo’s annual event calendar, the Bendigo Sustainability Festival will be back in 2025 to engage, empower and inspire positive action in our community. Want to get involved? There is a role for you. Get in touch now by emailing us at festival@bsg.org.au

When we talk about sustainability we are focused on preserving and protecting our natural environment, but we are also keen to ensure our work and organisation is sustainable in the long term. We recognise that our work is ongoing and must continue for years to come, led by the next generation and the generation after that. Bendigo Sustainability Group wants to provide a platform for young people at the festival in 2025. We will involve young people in speaking, announcing activities, leading aspects of the festival, and strengthening our relationships with partners and stakeholders. And we’re seeking a young Festival Director.

Are you young, passionate about the environment and sustainability with ideas you want to share to create a more sustainable world? Do you have leadership qualities like the ability to speak in public and talk to groups of adults? Have you got some time to work with us to lead next year’s festival? We want to hear from you!
