About
Tourism Funds Available for Festivals and Events
Explore St. Andrews supports festivals, events and other tourism initiatives that will contribute to the economic well-being of the local economy and tourism industry, build community, foster good community relations and enrich the quality of life of all residents and visitors.
The Festival/ Event and Grant Program is funded entirely by the Tourism Levy that is collected by participating operators of accommodations (vacation rentals, inns, hotels, motels, campgrounds, and bed & breakfasts) in the St. Andrews municipality. A portion of the funds generated every year is earmarked for initiatives to promote our region beyond our borders with the balance of funds raised then designated for festivals/events within the Tourism Levy region (St. Andrews municipality) that meet the criteria for funding.
