About our Event Grants

The purpose of the Event Grants program is to provide support for community-focused events and festivals that energise public spaces, foster a sense of connection between people and their surroundings, and celebrate the rich diversity of the community and culture within the City of Canada Bay.

By enabling these events, the program seeks to create vibrant, inclusive, and engaging experiences that bring people together, enhance the use of public areas, and showcase the unique character of the area.
