If you would like to propose an event to Palmerston North City Council for consideration towards Major Event Fund grant funding outside of assessment period, we'd like to hear from you.
The Major Events Fund is an annual contestable fund that is designed to support the attraction, development and growth of events in Palmerston North. The objective of the Major Events Fund is to support Event Producers to deliver world class events that drive sustainable growth in domestic visitation and promote Palmerston North’s unique identity to a wider audience.
Council’s investment will be targeted with a specific focus on events that:
- Promote domestic tourism and increase visitor nights, promoting longer stays and increased tourism activity, and generating visitation in the shoulder or low seasons;
- Telling and showcasing Palmerston North’s unique story;
- Generate positive media exposure for the region;
- Generate opportunities to leverage the city's profile and/or create a long-term legacy for the city; and
- Contribute to a diverse range of events across the region’s wider event landscape.
