Geelong’s reputation as a leading cultural destination continues to grow, with the Geelong Arts Centre unveiling one of its most ambitious annual programs to date.
The 2026 season features world premieres, Victorian-exclusive performances, acclaimed theatre productions, comedy, music and family entertainment, bringing nationally significant arts experiences directly to the region. You check out the Arts Centre’s program of events here.
For local audiences, the program means greater access to world-class entertainment without travelling to Melbourne.
For Geelong businesses, it means more visitors dining in restaurants, staying in accommodation and spending throughout the CBD before and after performances.
The growing strength of Geelong’s arts sector is helping position the city as a destination where creativity, culture and community thrive together.
As audiences continue to fill theatres and support local productions, the Geelong Arts Centre is proving that regional cities can play a leading role in Australia’s cultural future.
