Regional Multicultural Festivals and Events Fund
This fund supports regional multicultural community organisations and metropolitan organisations to deliver events across regional Victoria. The aim of the fund is to attract more visitors to regional Victoria and provide support to regional multicultural organisations so they can celebrate and share their culture. Funding to rural and regional communities is a key priority in recognition that these communities often have less access to resources and networks.
