Destination Events funding applications open in April
Are you producing an event in the next 18 months? You may be eligible for funding support.
The Destination Events Program (DEP) supports tourism, arts, culture and sport events across British Columbia to drive economic growth and position the province as a leading destination for diverse events.
The DEP provides funding up to 10% of a total event budget, with a maximum of $200,000 per event. Organizers can use the funds to cover a range of operational expenses.
Note: Your total event budget must be a minimum of $150,000 to be eligible to apply.
The program will provide up to $5 million a year province-wide to support operational expenses and help communities host events that attract overnight visitors, create jobs, boost local economies, and foster tourism growth.
The application period opens April 7 until May 5, for events occurring between June 1, 2025 until September 30, 2026.
