Tourism Richmond is pleased to announce the return of Winter In The Village this November/December in Steveston Village. To assist with the expansion of the experiences, programming, activations and events happening during this time, we will once again be providing Experience Sponsorship funding or organizers of new or existing events.
What is Winter in the Village?
Winter In The Village is a comprehensive and inclusive calendar of events and activities happening in Steveston from late November and throughout December. Activations engage the community and encourage participation from both locals and visitors. The goals of the initiative are to provide activities for the community and visitors to enjoy during the holiday season, in addition to increasing visitation to Steveston Village to support local business.
How does the Experience Sponsorship Funding work?
Funding is available to any association, society, business, or entrepreneur who is hosting a relevant event/program/activity/experience from late November to 31st December 2024. All activity must happen in Steveston and occur exclusively between late November and the end of December. Events can be on a single day, multiple days, regular days (e.g., Saturdays and Sundays), or always-on throughout the month.
Organizers can apply for funding by completing the application form linked below, which will be assessed by Tourism Richmond. If approved, a conditional offer letter will be provided, and funding will be released once the activity is complete.
The application deadline is Monday, September 30th, 2024.
