TAKEOVER

During these unprecedented times, we will continue to provide opportunities to support, revitalise, and strengthen our incredible community.

The Beelong Festival will reach out, across digital and social platforms, inviting you all to enjoy a rich variety of shared and joyful experiences.

Our extensive programme has been expertly curated in collaboration with local and national organisations, award winning authors, influencers, alumni, creative staff and, of course, our amazing students.

Every day we will showcase workshops, events and activities designed to engage, excite and empower every member of our community. Your participation, at any time, during this week will encourage us all to celebrate our togetherness, with optimism and in solidarity.

Join us to prove that we have more in common than divides us.
