The state\u2019s events calendar just got bigger thanks to the NSW Government investing $8 million into 21 major cultural festivals and events run by local councils across Sydney, the Hunter and Newcastle, and the Illawarra. 
 
Grant funding of up to $500,000 a year for two years has been awarded to 15 local councils across the state\u2019s Six Cities regions to host major multicultural events and festivals in partnership with the NSW Government. 
 
Minister for Multiculturalism Mark Coure said each partnership with the councils will help make their events bigger tourism attractions and local economy boosters.
 
\u201cTo have 21 different multicultural events hosted by 15 councils across the state\u2019s Six Cities regions is a testament to NSW\u2019s rich cultural and religious diversity,\u201d Mr Coure said.
 
\u201cThis funding will help each of these councils take their events and festivals to the next level.\u201d

Minister for Local Government Wendy Tuckerman said the partnerships will be a real win for the residents and visitors of local communities.
 
\u201cLocal Councils are the level of government closest to the community, so the NSW Government working directly with councils in our six cities will ensure these celebrations benefit their communities directly,\u201d Mrs Tuckerman said.
 
\u201cBy partnering with councils, we are boosting local cultural celebrations led by local leaders, helping to cater for bigger crowds so tourists can experience everything their city has to offer.\u201d
 
The Six Cities Regions comprise the Lower Hunter and Greater Newcastle City, Central Coast City, Illawarra-Shoalhaven City, Western Parkland City, Central River City and Eastern Harbour City.
 
Successful councils can use the funding for festivals in 2023 and 2024. All successful councils will partner with the NSW Government and co-fund to host events. For more information, visit www.multicultural.nsw.gov.au<\/a>  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
