ResumoIn Brief Cross-sectional surveys were conducted annually from 2006 to 2011 at a music festival. Eight thousand one hundred sixty-five young people completed surveys. STI testing rates increased over time, but there was an increase in the prevalence of some sexual risk behaviors and little improvement in STI knowledge between 2006 and 2011. We report trends from community-based surveillance of young people. Between 2006 and 2011, STI testing increased, the prevalence of some risk behaviours increased, and STI knowledge did not change substantially
