A number of new and exciting public events are set to pop up in the City of Parramatta as Council relaunches its Community Events Grants Program.

Community groups and not-for-profits are invited to apply for a share of up to $70,000 in funding to run low-cost or free events that will help revitalise the City and attract visitors.

The Community Events Grants program was not offered in 2020 due to COVID-19 restrictions.

“I am delighted that we can welcome back the diverse range of events that our great City is renowned for, after a year of tough COVID-19 restrictions,” City of Parramatta Lord Mayor Cr Bob Dwyer said.
