The Nelson City Council provides annual funding to support community and economic events through both the Nelson Events Fund and the Nelson City Council Venue Hire Fund.

The Nelson Regional Development Agency is the first point of contact for event organisers as we manage the administration of these funds and can also support with marketing tools, promotion and partnership opportunities.
