Warrnambool City Council supports, partners, facilitates and delivers some 150 events annually. Council acknowledges that events not only build community, they are important drivers of tourism and are a great way to promote a destination. Events bring together young and old and disparate subcultures, enlarge social networks, and support social cohesion, whilst growing the visitor economy and driving economic outcomes. The Events and Promotion branch seeks to support events which contribute to the local economy and build the profile of Warrnambool as a vibrant regional city through the annual Festivals and Events Grants and Partnership Program.
The Festivals and Events Grants and Partnerships Program 2024/2025 is currently closed.
