Koorie Pride Youth Festival

The Koorie Pride Youth Festival brings the Koorie community together with performances by some of the best local talent whilst also showcasing young Koories who participated in the Songlines youth program. Proudly supported by the City of Darebin, Koorie Justice Unit, Freeza and Vic Health the festival aims to develop, support and showcase youth Indigenous arts.

The festival is moving towards becoming a statewide Indigenous youth festival to engage, develop and showcase Indigenous young people through a variety of creative performing arts mediums including (but not limited to) dance, music and songwriting. It is an extension of our Koorie Pride School Holiday Program.
