BreakFest music event returns
Published on 02 December 2022
The Portland Civic Hall is set to come alive this December with lights, live music and roaming performances as the facility plays host to the 2022 BreakFest event.
BreakFest, the major annual youth event for the Glenelg Shire, will take place on Friday 10 December, from 7:00pm at the Civic Hall, Portland.
The event is catered for youth aged between 12 to 17 years and will feature well known DJ’s Jesse James and the Rockafellas, who will play alongside local FReeZA crew member and emerging DJ, Seb Barras.
Glenelg Shire Youth Development Officer Casey Marlow said this year’s event is ‘neon’ themed and would feature some surprising roaming performances.
“BreakFest has been planned for young people, by young people and funded through the State Government FReeZA program,” she explained.
“This year is a neon party and we encourage all event-goers to include some neon in their outfit. BreakFest boasts an impressive line-up of DJs including Jesse James and the Rockafellas - James’ latest single ‘Breaking Free’ has recently hit more than one million streams on Spotify.
“The event will also feature a roaming performer in acrobatic artist Donna Sparx. This is the first time we have welcomed Donna, or a performer of her kind to BreakFest, so we are excited to have her at the event to add a unique and fun element to the night.
“Donna will also host an acrobatic hoops workshop for young people in the lead up to BreakFest, so we encourage anyone interested to secure your place here or contact Council’s youth team for more information.
“We look forward to another successful BreakFest event at the Civic Hall.”

The 2022 BreakFest event is funded through the State Government’s FReeZA program. FReeZA offers funding for community organisations and local governments to deliver safe, youth-friendly events for young Victorians aged 12 to 25.
