Get your project off the ground with the help of a City of Sydney festival and event sponsorship. We're looking for projects that share knowledge, create opportunities for active community participation, celebrate local culture and creativity and activate our local precincts.
Projects can be one-off, yearly or a series of recurring events over a set period.
Our funding will prioritise festivals and events that:
celebrate and acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and culture
strengthen social inclusion, enable connectedness and reduce social isolation
support the visitor economy through activations, events and promotion
represent the cultural and social diversity of our communities
activate local precincts with creative programming.
We encourage applications from organisations, groups and individuals that support Aboriginal and Torres and Strait Islander communities and culture, including Aboriginal community-controlled organisations and networks.
Apply online by Tuesday 12 August.
Funding is for projects undertaken 1 January to 31 December 2026.
Contact the City Concierge for help with your application.
