The Province is providing $15 million to support B.C.-based fairs, festivals, and events!

Through the B.C. Fairs, Festivals and Events Fund (BCFFE), the Government of B.C. is providing $15 million in one-time grants for eligible events in response to calls for support from the sector as events continue to experience ongoing challenges related to rising costs, reduced revenues, and impacts from severe weather events.

The BCFFE Fund provides up to about 20% of your total event budget, up to a maximum of $250,000 per event. Your event budget must be at least $10,000. You can use these funds to cover a range of operational expenses.

Apply now! Funds are limited and applications will be reviewed in the order they are received.

Deadline
Applications will be accepted from February 7 to February 25, 2024, at 11:59 pm (PST) for events occurring between April 1, 2024, and September 30, 2025.
