Tweed event funding submissions closing soon

THE next round of Tweed event sponsorship funding will soon close, and the Council is calling on organisers to submit their big ideas and bold visions.

The strategic financial funding supports food festivals, community celebrations, sporting, creative and cultural events.

In the 2024-2025 round of funding, 19 events secured a total of $99,764 across various events.

Tweed Shire Mayor Chris Cherry said the Council was proud to support events that strengthen the local community and enhance the Shire’s reputation as a great place to live and visit.

“We welcome applications from organisers who are passionate about creating events that are the right fit for the Tweed and leave a positive impact,” Cr Cherry said.

The Tweed Events Strategy 2024-2028 aims to bring the region to life by supporting the growth and delivery of festivals and events that celebrate the Shire’s strengths.

The grants will support creative and culinary strengths and events that align with the community’s values and showcase unique Tweed experiences.

Applications are open to incorporated organisations or those supported by a sponsor that is accepting legal and financial responsibility for the event.

Submissions close at midnight on Friday, May 30.
