SPECIAL EVENT GRANTS

City of Festivals Special Event Support Program

The primary purpose of this Program is to provide support in the form of grants for special events from start-up to self-sufficiency in the Sacramento downtown.  Distinction is made between ticketed and free admission special events. The event must fall within a fabric of events consistent with family oriented themes, entertainment and/or activities, ties the river/region together, promotes the City of Sacramento, and/or engages in substantial economic benefit to the City of Sacramento as determined by the City Manager, or his designee(s).
