Monaghan County Council Tourism Unit Tourism Unit is pleased to invite applications for the Tourism Festivals & Events Funding Programme 2027.

 

The programme aims to support festivals and events that contribute to the tourism, cultural, social and economic development of County Monaghan through attracting visitors, encouraging overnight stays, increasing visitor spend and enhancing the county’s tourism offering.

 

A single application process applies to all tourism-focused festivals and events taking place in County Monaghan during 2027.

 

What Funding is Available?

 

Core Monaghan County Council Tourism Funding of €15,000 has been confirmed for 2027 (Stream 1). A maximum of €2,500 is available under this stream.

In addition, Monaghan County Council anticipates receiving an allocation under Fáilte Ireland’s Regional Festivals and Participative Events Programme (Stream 2). Confirmation of the amount of this funding allocation for 2027 is awaited, however, the maximum amount available under this stream will be €5,000.

Following assessment, successful applicants may be offered support from either:

or

· Stream 2 – Fáilte Ireland Regional Festivals and Participative Events Funding (where available and where eligibility criteria are met).

Please note that an event may only receive support from one of the above streams. The scale of the festival (visitor numbers, bednights anticipated as per the information supplied in the application) will determine which stream is most suitable for your festival/event.
