The Fairs, Festivals, and Events Fund is designed to support the development and growth of cultural events and celebrations that promote local tourism and economic growth. The fund aims to help event organizers plan and deliver high-quality, inclusive events that showcase the unique cultural and artistic diversity of British Columbia. With a total of $12 million in funding available, this is an excellent opportunity for event organizers to secure financial support to help make their event a success.
