LYG Finals Festival is open to all open games participants across 5-6 July 2025
The LYG Open Games events season runs from November to July each year and events build up to a celebratory Finals Festival in July.
The London Youth Games Finals Festival offers a unique opportunity for families, friends, coaches, officials, volunteers, and organisations to unite in celebrating the achievements of young people and their communities.
Hosted at the inspirational Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park since 2023, it allows young Londoners to compete in the iconic legacy venues of the 2012 Olympics and Paralympics.
We work collaboratively with our Organising Committee to craft a memorable and enhanced experience for LYG Finals Festival, enhancing the event with vibrant community activities for the participants and young Londoners.
With over 6,300 people coming together each year, LYG Finals Festival is a powerful celebration of sport and culture which we host annually.
