Social Enterprise Festival 2026

Join us for the 2026 Social Enterprise Festival!

The Social Enterprise Festival is back, bringing together social enterprises from across NSW and the ACT with conscious consumers and experts on Saturday 14 November in Darlington.

This is your chance to learn more about social enterprises and connect with like-minded, socially-conscious individuals. Meet the passionate people behind businesses that put people and planet first. You'll find high-quality, fair trade products and services, experience engaging activations and workshops, and support the growth of a fairer economy and society.

Sincere thanks to the generosity and support of sponsors University of Sydney, NSW Government, MTC FutureReady, City of Sydney, Gateway Bank, and Bambuddha Studios.

Getting there

We suggest travelling to the venue via train, bike or foot.

There are (limited) bike racks located outside the main entrance.

The venue is a short, flat walk from:

• Redfern train station (take the Little Everleigh Exit): 10mins

• Princes Highway bus stops: 5 mins

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.
