Youth Fest 2026

Celebrating Achievement. Empowering the Next Chapter.

At the end of this school year, Street Fathers Luton is hosting a Youth Festival dedicated to celebrating young people who are stepping into the next stage of their journey – whether that’s further education, training, or employment.

This festival is a moment of pride, recognition, and possibility for the young people of our town.

Created With Young People, Not Just For Them

Young people are at the heart of this project. We are committed to ensuring they play an active role in shaping, planning, and delivering the festival itself.

We are inviting young people across Luton to contribute their talents, creativity, and ideas through:

Music, spoken word, drama, and dance performances
TikTok and social media content creation to help promote the festival
Original lyrics, poetry, and creative writing to be showcased on the day
Hands‑on experience in event planning, production, and volunteering.

Our commitment is: this festival will be built with the voices and energy of Luton’s young people.

Calling Young People – Get Involved

If you’re aged 15–18 and want to be part of something meaningful, this is your moment. Whether you’re a performer, creator, organiser, or someone who simply wants to gain experience, we want to hear from you.

Take part in shaping a festival that celebrates YOU.
