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. Projects undertaken through this program aim to improve the sustainability and expansion of hosting capacity of festivals and events throughout the region, increase tourism revenues and improve community quality of life.
Please note, the funding for Fabulous Festivals and Events has been fully allocated in the Prince George Region. We can no longer accept applications for FFE from this region.
Funding is still available in the Cariboo-Chilcotin/Lillooet, Northeast and Northwest regions.
