Packed program for Fraser Coast Youth Week

Published on 11 March 2026

A glow-in-the-dark beach party, fishing competitions, laser skirmish battles and inflatable days at the aquatic centres are among more than 30 activities planned across the Fraser Coast for Youth Week.

Fraser Coast Deputy Mayor Sara Diana Faraj said more than 30 free and low-cost events would be held across the region from 11 to 19 April as part of Queensland Youth Week.

“Youth Week is all about celebrating the energy, creativity and ideas that young people bring to our community,” she said.

“This year’s program is bigger than ever to give young people aged 12 to 25 plenty of opportunities to try something new, build confidence and spend time with friends.”

Cr Faraj said the program included a mix of sport, music, creative activities and outdoor experiences across the region.

“Highlights include Youth Fest at the All Abilities Park and Seafront Oval in Pialba, pump track music sessions with Bay Beats in Hervey Bay and Borough Beats in Maryborough, and Youth Maker Markets,” she said.

“Youth Week is a chance for young people to get out, get active and enjoy some great activities happening across the Fraser Coast.”

Cr Faraj said Youth Week was also about recognising the positive contributions young people make in the community.

“Our young people are an important part of the Fraser Coast and Youth Week is a great opportunity to celebrate them while creating fun and welcoming spaces for them to connect with others,” she said.

Some events require bookings and places may be limited.
