The Province Continues Support for Fairs, Festivals & Events
Through the B.C. Fairs, Festivals and Events Fund (BCFFE), the Government of B.C. is providing $15 million in one-time grants to eligible events in response to challenges the sector is facing, such as reduced revenue and sponsorships, and rising costs of equipment and services.
Event funding will also support those areas affected by the 2023 wildfires and will help boost visitation and generate economic activity for those communities.
Eligible events include sporting events, arts and culture events, community celebrations, agricultural fairs and rodeos. Examples of eligible expenses include operational costs, Indigenous consultation and honorariums, venue rental, marketing, wages and promotion.
Applications will be accepted until Feb. 25, 2024, at 11:59 p.m. Events between April 1, 2024, and Sept. 30, 2025, are eligible for funding. Organizations are encouraged to submit their applications as soon as possible.
