2024/25 Regional Event Fund

The Regional Event Fund was established in 1996. The program is a mechanism to grow regional visitation by assisting events that contribute to the unique character of the tourism regions of NSW to market themselves to visitors from outside of their Local Government Area.

The Regional Event Fund comprises three individual funding streams providing a development pipeline for events from inception, through emergence, to their establishment as tourism events in Regional NSW.

The three individual streams of the Regional Event Fund are:

• Incubator Event stream – supports the establishment of new events
• Flagship Event stream – supports the marketing of emerging events to increase their profile and encourage visitation
• Event Development stream – supports the strategic development of established events as drivers of tourism.
