Social Enterprise Festival 2025

The Social Enterprise Festival returns, bigger and better than ever, in 2025!

The Social Enterprise Festival is back, bringing together 75+ NSW and ACT social enterprises with 1,000+ conscious consumers and members of the public on Saturday 16 August at UTS.

The Festival is a free, family-friendly event where you can learn more about social enterprises, get hands-on with a range of market stalls and workshops, and connect with like-minded individuals and organisations.

Experience the largest market for social enterprise products and services in NSW and ACT, including ethical goods and services, artisan products, talks, workshops, and delicious food and beverages.

Hear from social enterprise leaders, experts and supporters discussing the state of play in the social enterprise movement and igniting critical discussions around the role of consumers and social enterprises in building a fairer economy and society.

Join hands-on activations and engaging workshops that are designed to educate and inspire- tickets available soon!

Sincere thanks to the generosity and support of sponsors, City of Sydney and UTS.

Getting there

We suggest travelling to the venue via train, bike or foot. There are (limited) bike racks located on Mary Ann Street.

UTS Business School is located a 5 minute walk from Central Station (train/metro/bus).

What to expect

Interact with a wide range of social enterprises, all in one spot. Learn skills in the free workshops and talks. Get personalised advice on making positive impact choices for individuals and businesses. Try and buy from thousands of products that put people and planet first.

Festival attendees can know that every purchase made is helping to create a positive social or environmental impact. 

Through thousands of small acts, social enterprises and the people that buy their products and services can change the game - it’s a switch for good.
