WHAT WE'RE ABOUT
The Big Exo Day is… a one day youth festival that ends with an epic night concert and aims not just to entertain, but to bring a message of encouragement to young people; that no matter what you might be dealing with in life and no matter how hard things might be, life can still be EXO (excellent), and you can fulfil your dreams and achieve awesome and unheard of things.It’s all about…
Young people expressing their creativity, loving life, and understanding God created each individual for a purpose. Together we can change our world. Throughout the day there will be opportunities to explore all kinds of stuff…FMX, Hip Hop, BMX, Skate, Wakeboarding….and many other aspects of youth culture.
It all started when…
The first School Exo was held at Baulkham Hills High School in 1998. The event was thought of, planned and over within 2 weeks. Between 600 and 800 students and teachers attended the event, where everything was paid for: all prizes, food, promotional material, show bags and entertainment. Students were given a free lunch and heard the message that life can be excellent.
The Big Exo Day launched in late 2002, where Youth Ministries across the State got together at Australia's Wonderland to celebrate and tell their mates that life is EXO on a far bigger scale! This event was the kick-off to what has been an awesome adventure so far. In 2003, we entered the Sydney International Tennis Centre, which was an amazing venue and a great stepping stone for growth. By 2004 the event had doubled in size, and by 2006 we were forced to move to the ACER Arena. Now in its ninth year we are back at Sydney Showground, which we have been in since 2007, and has been the best fit by far.
