Youth festival vibes coming to the town centre

16/01/2026

Young people aged 12-25 are welcome to join in a day of fun activities on Friday 23 January with Summer at the Point.

The free event will run between 11am-4pm at Point Cook Town Centre basketball courts, and feature music, DJs, basketball competitions, street art workshops and food on site.

Hosted by Youth Projects, it has been co-designed with the help of local young people through their Youth Advisory Group to give off a festival vibe.

While Summer at the Point is a social and cultural event, it is intended to play a broader role in helping young people build confidence, connection, and awareness of local support services.
