The closing date is for festivals that will take place between January–June 2020.

The Council recognises the distinctive role arts festivals play in sustaining a vibrant and sustainable arts profile at a local level. Festivals provide opportunities for artists and audiences to experience new work and ways of making work. The Council acknowledges the valuable contribution made by voluntary committees in developing these festivals. The scheme will be open to multi-disciplinary festivals and single artform festivals.

There are three bands of funding available:

• Band A: Up to €7,000  
• Band B: Between €7,001 and €20,000
