Geelong will transform into a city-wide playground, bursting with creativity, curiosity and unforgettable family fun from 14–24 September as Geelong Wonder Children’s Festival returns for its fourth consecutive year.

This year’s program is packed with wonder, featuring an exciting mix of free and ticketed events designed to delight children of all ages across the September school holidays.

Following its hugely successful debut in 2025, Big Wonder Weekend is back on 19 and 20 September. Last year, the event attracted families from across Victoria to experience a vibrant mix of free and ticketed activities at Geelong Arts Centre, throughout the Cultural Precinct and along Little Malop Street. Even more exciting city-wide activations are planned for 2026, with further details to be announced soon.

Tickets for performances are on sale now. Secure the best seats early and start planning your family's festival adventure before sessions sell out. Head to geelongwonderchildrensfest.com.au
