Brighton Youth Action Group (BYAG) hosted the Big Bangin Youth Night on Friday 19 May 2023 and was a great success. Brighton youth community members had turned out for a night packed with activities, talks and entertainment. High­lights included Tasmanian battle rappers Greeley and Dunn D, DJ Cheek_E, a host of local acts, and “The Talk” community forum. The night was the first major event designed by BYAG as a  celebration of young people living in the Brighton area.

BYAG is a group supported by Brighton Council and aims to build relationships with young people aged  12-25 years by giving them a voice within the community.  They are motivated, creative and kind, and make up a  large part of the Brighton municipality.

A huge shout-out goes to  BYAG for leading the way for  Brighton young people, along with a huge thank you to the community members and small businesses who donated their time and resources to make the night a success.
