The Social Enterprise Festival

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; City of Sydney, NSW Government, University of Sydney, MTC FutureReady, Gateway Bank, and Bambuddha Studios.

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.
