Geelong Design Week 2026 will take place from 1–11 October 2026, celebrating the breadth, depth and impact of design across the city and wider region.
The program spans a wide range of design disciplines, including architecture, sustainability, product and digital design, fashion, service and communication design, as well as interior and landscape design. The event will feature exhibitions, talks, workshops and public activations that connect industry professionals with the broader community.
