A new Festival and Event funding policy has been adopted by Waterford City and County Council.
It will ensure that funding will be available to help events across Waterford to develop and grow.
The policy, which identifies a number of flagship festivals, will put larger scale events on a surer footing by committing to three years funding.
Under the new policy, training will be provided to all event organisers to help them develop their event and create new opportunities.
Festival and event organisers across Waterford are now being encouraged to apply for funding for events to be held in 2022. Applications can be submitted online from October 5th at www.waterfordfestivals.ie and the closing date for applications is Sunday, November 7th
A helpline will be open from Wednesday, October 6th to Friday, November 5th to answer any queries relating to the application process - 0761 10 2169.
Waterford City & County Council’s Festival & Event Funding Policy is available at www.waterfordcouncil.ie.
