The National-led Government is helping create a nationwide festival for the 2011 Rugby World Cup. New Zealand’s largest ever sporting event is being supported by the New Zealand 2011 Festival Lottery Fund of $9.5 million.
The festival will boost regional economic opportunities, community involvement, and the New Zealand experience for 85,000 expected visitors. With 23 centres around the country hosting games or teams, the fund is intended for community events and activities, including concerts, fairs, and parades.
Funding is open to organisations wanting to showcase our regions, and will help them make the most of this great opportunity.
We’re working hard to help our regions celebrate the Rugby World Cup, and make sure visitors experience the best of New Zealand’s arts, food and wine, heritage, and entertainment.
Applications are now open, and close on 17 September.
