Funding for next year’s Queensland Day events

Applications are open for Queensland Day events next year, as events continue for this year’s celebrations.

The 2023 Queensland Day Sponsorship Program offers funding of up to $15,000 for events and initiatives dedicated to celebrating Queensland’s birthday on 6 June.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said Queensland Day is an opportunity for communities to come together and share Queensland’s unique culture and heritage, and to celebrate everything that is great about being a Queenslander.

“Festivals, parades, family fun days – all types of events − are held across Queensland each year to mark Queensland Day and are always a wonderful opportunity for community spirit,” Ms Palaszczuk said.

“This year’s events are continuing as we celebrate Monday’s 163^rd anniversary of Queensland’s birth.

“So I take the opportunity to encourage not-for-profit organisations, local councils, regional tourism organisations, community groups or Parents and Citizens Associations to apply for funding to support their Queensland Day celebrations next year.

“Let’s celebrate our people, places, produce and culture in honour of Queensland’s birthday.

“I look forward to the seeing the plans develop for next year’s program.”

Applications for the 2023 Queensland Day Sponsorship Program close 5pm Wednesday 31 August 2022.

Events can be held between 3 to 11 June 2023.
