Snap a photo with Santa, design a toy and see what tomorrow looks like through the eyes of young artists at the Youth Arts Fun Festival.
This year’s theme, Magic World, comes to life in a free, family-friendly exhibition at Melbourne’s Drill Hall. Browse designer toys and collectible figures in the ArtStall Zone, try hands-on workshops in painting, toy design and digital art, and catch K-pop and hip-hop performances by young dance crews.
Then step into a White Christmas scene with twinkling lights and snap a festive photo with Santa. You can also enter for a chance to win a grand prize from Global Ballooning for the Yarra Valley Balloon Experience.
