History
[edit]The ChillOut Festival started in 1997.[2]
In 2020, the ChillOut Festival tried to break the Guiness World Record for the largest human rainbow. The festival distributed coloured T-shirts with tickets to allow festivalgoers to participate.[3]
ACON, Sexual Health Victoria, and the Australian Department of Health and Aged Care partnered to do swab cervical cancer screenings in 2025. These screening were part of a national "Own It" campaign.[4]
