New Gen Festival is a youth-led festival celebrating music, dance, creativity and culture in Ealing through live performances, workshops, emerging talent and community collaboration. They put young people at the centre of everything we do. They have opportunities to work in paid festival roles and volunteer to learn new skills as well as having opportunities to perform.
Held annually in Walpole Park, part of Ealing Summer Festivals, New Gen creates opportunities for emerging artists and young creatives to perform, collaborate and connect with audiences alongside more established performers. They also have a year-long programme of events engaging with young people creatively including workshops, training and open mic nights.
The festival combines live entertainment with hands-on creative activities, career pathways, and inclusive community engagement, reflecting the diversity and creativity of young people across Ealing and West London.
