Organiser Jeremy Sheppard said there were not many opportunities for emerging musicians to perform in the area.
"It's amazing what sort of local talent we have," he said.
"We just have to give them an opportunity and a place to play."
Mr Sheppard said numbers were down at this year's concert but all up about 150 youth had attended.
"Overall it was a good night and people appreciated the music," he said.
"Next year we'll get in a bit earlier and try to promote it a bit more."
Mr Sheppard said Logan Village performer Jake Whittaker brought a good following to the event and Jimboomba band The Fun Team finished the event on a high note.
Flagstone Junior Chamber of Commerce member Paige Holgate, 13, who volunteered at the event, said it was a good opportunity for people her age to socialise and hear some live music.
"It's really cool because you get to meet new people and you get to see local performers," she said.
Mr Sheppard said he hopes to bring more youth-focussed events to Flagstone and would like to do something similar at Yarrabilba next year.
