Hundreds celebrate Youth Week 2025 in the Hawkesbury

16 April 2025

NSW Youth Week is an annual celebration, held in April, for young people aged 12-24 years. It’s a time for young people to have their voices heard, share their talents, and celebrate their contributions to their communities.

In the Hawkesbury, over 350 people attended our Youth Fest 2025 event, held at Richmond Park on Friday, 11 April. The event was organised by a working group from Hawkesbury Youth Interagency, comprising young people, youth-related services and Council.

Most of those 350+ attendees were young people, who gathered to hear local musicians, connect with local services, and enjoy the food and Friday festival vibes.

Hawkesbury City Council would like to thank the stallholders and supporters who were a part of Youth Fest 2025, including Gassd Pizza and Paradise Ice Cream who provided free giveaways.
