Funding for Childers Festival
The Childers Festival has had a boost in funding support through the State Government’s Homegrown Destination Events Fund.
$25,000 has been awarded under Round 2 of the revamped $14 million fund, which is designed to grow standout local Queensland events.
Bundaberg Regional Council Mayor Helen Blackburn said “For three decades the Childers Festival has brought people into the region, supported local businesses and shown off what makes our town such a great place to visit”
“It’s an event locals really care about and it delivers real benefits for the region.
“This support helps ensure the Childers Festival can keep growing while staying true to what it’s always been about – community, culture and bringing people together”
Member for Burnett Stephen Bennett said “The Childers Festival is a signature event for our region, it brings thousands of visitors into town, fills local cafes, pubs and accommodation and puts our community on the map”
Minister for Tourism Andrew Powell said “Events draw visitors into our regions, fill hotels, boost local businesses and showcase everything that makes Queensland an unbeatable place to visit”
“Through this latest round of the Homegrown program, we are delivering real economic and social benefits for communities right across the state.”
