Applications Due by April 13, 2026
The online application portal for Monroe County’s 2026 Community Festival Funding is now open. This is the fifth year the county has set aside funding for community festivals. Last year, Monroe County provided more than $400,000 to 43 local events through the Community Festival Support Program. The application deadline for community festivals taking place this year is 5 p.m. on Monday, April 13, 2026.
“Festivals and events are part of the fabric of life in Monroe County. Our local festivals bring people together to celebrate historic occasions, recognize the traditions of our diverse cultures, and highlight local and national talent,” said Monroe County Executive Adam J. Bello. “Festivals improve the quality of life for Monroe County residents, and I’m proud that we have increased the funding available this year to make this festival season the best ever.”
Festivals and events must meet a set of basic qualifications to be considered for support. To review the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) and eligibility criteria, visit monroecounty.gov/festivalfunding.
