Optus Community Group Activation Program

Many wonderful community groups are participating in the 2026 festival thanks to St Kilda Festival’s Community Group Activation Program, supported by our Major Partner Optus.

The program showcases the strong creative spirit within our community through a variety of colourful performances at the Optus Stage in O’Donnell Gardens. It reflects Optus’s ongoing commitment to support local community through local events.

Below is the list of brilliant community groups that have been able to take part in the festival thanks to Optus and the program.
