Downtown Festival Grants

The DBA helps promote Downtown Edmonton through festival sponsorship.

The Downtown Business Association provides festival sponsorship funding annually.  These grants are available to events and festivals occurring in the downtown core.*  Funding amounts range from $750 to a maximum of $5,000.  The eligible costs covered will vary according to the criteria met by each applicant. Retroactive funding is not available. All applications will be judged against a set criterion by an adjudication commitee. 

The application for the 2010 festival season is now open. Please click here to download a copy of the 2010 Festival Grant Application Package.
