Get ready to ignite your passion for a sustainable world! The Sustainable Future Festival is back, bigger and bolder than ever, celebrating sustainable living on the beautiful NSW Central Coast. This year, we are proud to join forces with The Lakes Festival 2025. Held on the traditional lands of the Darkinjung people, this free community event on Saturday, November 15, 2025, aims to inspire and empower you with the tools to live more sustainably and keep our coast thriving.

Dive into a day packed with hands-on workshops, captivating demonstrations, inspiring speakers, and fantastic live entertainment. Explore our vibrant market stalls brimming with unique creations from passionate local artisans. Every purchase supports local businesses that champion our shared message of sustainability. Kids can join in the fun too, with a huge range of activities from creative crafts to interactive environmental games, plus the opportunity to sit in a garbage truck! Together, we'll explore clever ways to reduce waste, keep our resources circulating, and protect our beautiful coast.

​

This year’s festival is turning up the energy with a headline appearance from Costa Georgiadis! You know him, you love him — the gardening legend with the big beard and even bigger energy. Costa is a celebrated landscape architect, environmental educator, and author whose larger-than-life personality lights up every crowd he meets. Famous for his passion, humour, and unstoppable enthusiasm, Costa will inspire you to see biodiversity in a whole new light, rethink the power of soil, and embrace regenerative ways of living. Expect laughter, wisdom, and a spark that will stay with you long after the festival ends — this is one appearance you won’t want to miss!

Our Sustainability Mission 

At the heart of the Sustainable Future Festival is a simple promise: to celebrate together in a way that honours and protects our planet. Every decision we make is guided by the goal of creating an event that not only inspires change but also demonstrates it in action.

 

From embracing a Zero Waste Approach to partnering with Betizen to provide reusable food and beverage containers, we’re taking steps to reduce our footprint at every level. These containers aren’t just single-use alternatives — they’ll be washed and redistributed during the event, showing in real time how a truly circular system can work.

 

We’ve also banned single-use plastics, installed water refill stations to cut down on unnecessary waste, and worked closely with our vendors to champion better, greener practices.

 

But our mission goes beyond logistics — it’s about sparking a movement. By showing what’s possible when communities come together with purpose, we hope to inspire every festivalgoer to carry these ideas into their own lives, workplaces, and neighbourhoods.

​

Because creating a sustainable future isn’t just about one event — it’s about building lasting change, one conscious choice at a time.
