Applications open for Ventura’s Special Event Grant Program

Through the Special Event Grant Program, the City of Ventura provides funding to support festivals and events that activate public spaces and boost visitor spending. Each year, the program awards up to $10,000 to events that celebrate the community, attract both residents and visitors, and enhance Ventura's cultural and economic vitality. These grants encourage public and private sector partnerships and may cover all or part of City of Ventura special event permit fees.
