Burnie City Council is seeking applications to conduct a number of vibrant events across our City during the 2024 year!

From a CBD Light up the Night Festival, to a regular Friday Night bEATS Market. If you have an event idea – together, we can bring it into reality!

Last year Burnie City Council contributed $15,000 towards Burnie's Musical Society Youth Program to assist with the continuous program and produce two major productions. Council also supported Sea FMs and 7BUS 2023 New Years Eve Event - Fire on the Foreshore.

We are again seeking applications to conduct a number of vibrant events across our City during the 2024 year!

Some events ideas we want to see come to life this year

• New Year’s Eve Community Event

• Spring Flower Festival

• A Family Christmas Parade

• A regular Friday Night bEATs Market

• A Community Celebration on the 26 January

• International Women’s Day event

• Easter Fun at Burnie Park

• Sandcastle competition on the Foreshore

• CBD Light up the Night Festival

We want to partner with the community and organizations so that we can provide funding and assistance, while our partner organization takes charge of the arrangements.

Council can offer in return

• Funding for the event

• Guidance to help you create your event

• Where needed, mentoring in how to navigate any Council processes

• Promotion and advertising of your event to a wide audience

• Training (mid 2024) in the things you need to know to conduct a successful event

So, tell us in two paragraphs or less:

• Your outlined vision for your event
• Date and proposed location for your event
• What type of support you will need from Council

 Email your Expression of Interest (EOI) with an outline of your major event idea - to events@burnie.tas.gov.au by 25 February 2024.
