FABULOUS FESTIVALS AND EVENTS

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

The Fabulous Festivals and Events program provides annual grant funding to support unique festivals and events throughout the region that contribute to service sector revenues in the local economy. The program supports festivals and events that promote Northern B.C. as a destination for tourism.
