After months of excitement and preparation, Youth Beatz 2026 is almost here with 40,000 young people expected to attend the UK’s largest free youth music festival on Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 June at Park Farm Showfield, Dumfries.
Young people in Dumfries and Galloway will have the chance to take part in a wide range of free activities over the summer holidays taking place in local communities across our region.
This year, organisations and groups from across the region were invited to apply to the Youth Beatz Fringe Fund for funding to run events and activities in their own communities as part of the Fringe Programme for 2026. The Youth Beatz Fringe has a continued focus on providing opportunities that are entirely free and accessible across Dumfries and Galloway.
Youth Beatz Festival 2026 will once again bring thousands of young people together for Scotland’s largest free youth music event, celebrating music, community and opportunities for young people across Dumfries and Galloway to get involved in a range of free activities to suit all ages and interests.
