The Rural City of Wangaratta’s Tourism Events Funding Program 2025 is open from 1 September – 30 September 2024.

The Rural City of Wangaratta is providing funding of up to $5,000 per tourism event that showcases Wangaratta as a diverse tourism destination. These grants support events delivered between 1 January and 31 December, 2025.

The Tourism Event Funding Program provides support for event organisers in assistance with developing and delivering vibrant, inclusive and engaging events in the Rural City of Wangaratta.

This program supports the growth of events in the region that attract outside visitation, have a strong tourism focus and demonstrate the potential to promote the Rural City of Wangaratta as a destination for visitors to our region all year round.

These events may be big or small, however they will share one thing: highlighting Wangaratta as a dynamic hub for tourism.

If you are planning an event or festival that that attracts visitors to the Rural City of Wangaratta and showcases the local area, the Tourism Events Grant Program is designed to help you.
