Young people in the Macedon Ranges will showcase their talents in this month’s Youth Fest.

The month long celebration in September provides opportunities for residents to showcase talents, grow networks and to connect with creative like-minded peers.

Macedon MP Mary-Anne Thomas said the calendar of events will celebrate creativity and wonder with a number of youth-led events and activities by and for young people aged between 12 and 25.

“We’re so proud to support local young people in the Macedon Ranges to lead the design and delivery of events and activities,” she said.

“[These] showcase their talents and create important community connections with their peers.”

The Youth Fest events include; Art Space by Macedon Ranges council, and Woodend X Level-Up by the Woodend Neighbourhood House.

Applications supporting regional and rural events, and underrepresented community groups were prioritised through the Youth Fest program.
