Bendigo Sustainability Festival 2026: Sunday 29 March, 10am-4pm
Now an iconic highlight of Bendigo’s annual events calendar, the Bendigo Sustainability Festival will return in 2026 to inspire, connect, and empower our community toward meaningful environmental action. Interested in being part of it? Reach out to us at festival@bsg.org.au
The Bendigo Sustainability Festival returns in 2026 with the inspiring theme “Home”. celebrating the spaces, connections, and shared stories that shape who we are and how we live together sustainably.
“Home” is more than a roof over our heads. It’s the warmth of community, the meals shared, the gardens tended, and the care we show for one another and for the planet. It’s the foundation for our wellbeing (physical, emotional, and environmental) and a reminder that a sustainable future starts right where we are.
This year’s festival will bring together innovators, local organisations, artists, and everyday changemakers to explore what it means to create homes, and communities, that are resilient, inclusive, and full of hope. From talks tents to local food, music, and family-friendly activities, there’s something for everyone: meet our speakers! And register to attend the festival here.
