Event sponsorship

Local events connect our vibrant communities and help put us on the map, attracting visitors and building our economy.

From art shows and music festivals, to sporting events, food, fashion and everything in between, our events are a celebration of what the MidCoast is all about.

Depending on the scale of your event, three categories of funding are offered in the sponsorship program:

• Community and Local Events: Up to $1,500
• Events and Festivals: up to $10,000
• Regionally Significant: $10,000

Please note that all applicants are required to submit an event budget using our event budget template(DOCX, 231KB). This should be downloaded, completed and attached to your application form.
